Motorola launches i670 for Nextel

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jul 19th 2006 at 2:41PM

Moto sure is giving its iDEN-only product line a healthy sendoff before CDMA hybrid handsets start to drop later this year. Besides the upcoming high-end i880 and the virtually indestructible (we'll eat those words, we're sure) i580, Nextel looks to shore up their low end by adding the i670, a basic clamshell whose main selling point appears to be its "color display." Of course, no-frills is a big selling point among some Nextel clientele, so the phone should find its niche. Other features include Direct Talk (off-network walkie talkie) support, speakerphone, and a reasonable $49.99 price tag on two-year contract.

That phone has been out for almost a month now. I think you are a little late engadget.

also, it seems iden is on its way out anyway. i mean, with some squinting and thinking, isn't this just a rehash of the i95cl? motorola's just been repeating the same phones over and over in different designs because they cannot improve upon iden (or widen) any more than they already have. yes, it's a good technology, but give it a rest! let it go! if it was truly meant to be, we'll hear so much griping about no mo' iden that our ears will fall off.
