Smartphones are always nice, but never nice enough for us users. The truth is we really can’t find a perfect phone, simply because ‘perfect’ is really too much to ask for a smartphone, or for anything else, so let’s just see what choice do we have right now. Giving credit to Motorola, as they always come up with some real nice phones, this new push-to-talk phone is really worth worth your time to check out.
The CTIA 2010 kicked off weeks before in Las Vegas and this early Motorola is announcing its latest Android phone with a rather unusual look and features. The Motorola i1 is the first iDEN device that carries the features of most smartphones today thanks to the Android OS running on it. Some of these smartphone features include – a 3.1 inch touch screen, Wi-Fi, optimized browsing experience, Opera Mini 5 browser, access to thousands of Android apps from the Android Marketplace and of course push-to-talk feature. Motorola is releasing the i1 ruggedized phone to Sprint anytime this summer.
The Motorola i1 boasts of a solid body construction that passed military specs for protecting against dust, shock, vibration and blowing rain. It was designed for users who sport a rugged lifestyle and working environment. The phone automatically syncs and integrates with office and personal information including your emails, calendar appointments and contacts. It also syncs with Microsoft Document Viewer and corporate synch for Word or Powerpoint files.
The phone also features both Android standard virtual keyboard and Swype virtual keyboards offering you a easy time when composing messages. It’s high 5 megapixel camera has flash, geo-tagging and panoramic features – providing your with crips photos and clear displays perfectly suited for its vibrant 3.1-inch HVGA screen. The phone also comes with a microSD card and the latest Opera Mini 5 browser that provide quick internet browsing on Nextel Network and Wi-Fi. Plus, the phone is Flash 8-enabled as well, thanks to the Android browser.
The Motorola i1 is slated for release this summer under various Sprint data plans including the Sprint Everything Data 450 plan with Any Mobile, AnytimeSM for only $69.99 per month, and the Sprint Business Advantage Messaging and Data PlanSM starting at $59.99 per month.
Well, how do you think of this smartphone? Cute look, nice features, I think this is a smartphone I really want to get my hands on when this summer comes!
While Opera is a nice web browser on PC, Opera Mini is a even better mobile browser on smartphones, and it has been a pity for long that this wonderful mobile browser had no such version for iPhone/iPod Touch users. However now the Opera Mini app finally approved for the Apple AppStore.
To most smartphone users Opera Mini must be the best browser ever! It is really fast, convenient, and easy to use, and along with Opera Mini 5 beta came out recently, probably the most beautiful browser on mobile too!
