Android desembarcó en un celular push to talk

La llegada del Motorola i1 había sido anunciada en junio y finalmente se concreta hoy, día en que los clientes de Nextel podrán probar definitivamente la plataforma Android.

El i1 permite acceso al correo corporativo y personal ya que soporta Microsoft Exchange, POP3 e IMAP, y visualización de archivos de Word, Excel y Power Point, a través de Quickoffice. Cuenta también con GPS integrado.

En el terreno del entretenimiento, el i1 ofrece acceso a redes sociales como facebook, cámara integrada de 5 megapíxeles con capacidad de etiquetado geográfico y tomas panorámicas y reproductor MP3.

Su precio es de $1.450 más IVA en la Argentina .

Otras características destacadas incluyen ingreso de texto Swype, acelerómetro incorporado, y 8 GB de memoria expansible para elevar al máximo la experiencia del usuario.

Swype es un innovador método de escritura que permite a los usuarios ingresar texto con un movimiento continuo del dedo sobre el teclado.

Want a 2010 Android phone on a 2005-era network? That's the question with Boost's new Motorola i1, an otherwise powerful, touch screen slab that finally gives Boost subscribers access to the smartphone OS everyone is raving about. The military-spec, rugged Motorola i1 crawls along at early-2G data speeds because of Boost's archaic iDEN network. But the i1's awesome PTT capability and the carrier's all-in, $50/month prepaid service make this phone a good deal nonetheless.

Design and Call Quality
The Motorola i1 measures 4.7 by 2.3 by 0.5 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.6 ounces. The soft-touch rear panel and rubber top and bottom edges make the device comfortable to hold. It's otherwise made of glass and plastic; overall, it feels well built. It could probably withstand a few hard bumps on the edges, assuming you're lucky enough not to hit the glass panel. The 3.1-inch, 320-by-480-pixel, capacitive touch screen looked sharp and bright. But it was surprisingly stubborn; it missed many of my finger taps, even when dialing numbers. You can type on the on-screen keyboard using the Swype method, which I don't like, but many others swear by it. Regular landscape QWERTY and XT9 predictive text pads are also available.

The Motorola i1 is a dual-band iDEN (800/1900 MHz) push-to-talk phone. Voice quality was excellent. Calls sounded loud, full, and clear in the earpiece, with no background hiss and a warm timbre. Transmissions were also clear in both directions. Reception was impressively strong; often I have to travel out of my house and into the center of town to properly test Nextel iDEN handsets, but not this time. The phone supports Nextel's famous, venerable, instant and quite loud push-to-talk system as well.
