The first ruggedized iDEN handset with a built-in camera, the i580 arrives in Sprint Nextel's lineup with Bluetooth, memory expansion, and GPS.
The Motorola i580 may be big and bulky – typical for a PTT handset from Sprint Nextel – but it's also tough as nails, capable of withstanding rain, dust, shocks, and vibrations galore. The i580 clamshell comes armed with a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth (complete with handset, hands-free, object-exchange and dial-up networking profiles), a microSD memory expansion slot, and built-in GPS.
Available now from Sprint Nextel, the i580 retails for $430, or $230 with a two-year service agreement.
