The i880 by Motorola is an all-in-one phone, essentially the first of it’s kind for the Sprint Nextel network. With the 2.0 megapixel camera/camcorder, picture resolution is sharp enough for quality 5x7 prints, as well as video playback with sound. The i880 also features an integrated music player supporting MP3s, other audio files and podcasts through the stereo dual-ported speakers. There is an included 64 MB microSD upgradeable memory card for storage.

Some of the other features include pre-installed and downloadable Java applications, GPS capabilities, an Internet microbrowser, custom ring tone ID and picture caller ID, a 262K internal color screen, voice dialing, voice recorder, speakerphone, datebook and 600- entry contacts list. In addition, the i880 by Motorola contains AgION antimicrobial coating to help protect the phone’s painted surfaces from damaging bacteria.

In addition to Nextel’s Nationwide Walkie-Talkie and International Walkie- Talkie services that allow instant coast-to-coast and
country-to-country communication at the touch of a button, the i880 offers other unique walkie-talkie options:

• Group Connect service enables group walkie-talkie conversations with up to 21 participants nationwide, and the groups can be directly set up on the handset within seconds.
• Direct Talk service allows short-range walkie-talkie communications in areas without network coverage, depending on       specific conditions such as terrain.
• Direct Send allows users to send contact information and pictures to another Direct Send-capable phone simply by pushing the walkie-talkie button.

The i880 by Motorola is available through all Sprint and Nextel at a price of $499.99 or $299.99 with $50 rebate and a two-year service agreement.
