The Motorola i576 is as much about Sprint's continuing commitment to their aging Nextel iDen network as it is about being a rugged, walkie-talkie clamshell phone. It doesn't get the water-proofing of Verizon's G'zOne Boulder, which is too bad, because it's really built like a brick all around. Actually, it's a fairly small phone, so maybe brick is too large for the metaphor, perhaps its more like a small, dense rock. It's about as attractive as a rock, too, with a very large base and a thinner upper half. In person, it's clear this phone could survive a drop from a moving pickup truck, as long as it doesn't fall into a pond on the way down. Release: November 2008. Price: $130.
