Telus launches Motorola's Mike i877 flip phone

by Darren Murph, posted Apr 27th 2008 at 1:26AM

Just days after Telus picked up the attractive LG Venus, the carrier has officially started offering up the Motorola Mike i877. The half-rugged, half-sleek looking flip phone was designed by Pininfarina and features integrated Bluetooth, a multimedia player (MP3, AAC, WMA), microSD expansion slot, miniUSB port, 1.3-megapixel camera, VibraCall, a digital voice recorder and the obligatory push-to-talk support. If it floats your boat, you can snag it now sans contract for $349.99, or anywhere between $149.99 to $299.99 if you're cool with signing the dotted line for varying lengths of time.

iDen is blechh. My stepdad had an iDen 'set from Nextel (Yes, it was Moto), and that damned thing is beyond bulky. Not only that, reception was outright horrendous. Please, please, kill it or update it.

I will applaud Moto, however, for sticking to Mini USB for charging/sync, unlike most other phones on the market. Proprietary = Bad.
