Motorola i930 / i920
Motorola's Press Release :-)
i930 will dominate. i870 is a good phone dont get me wrong but who needs a mp3 player when you could load up a 2gig SD card into the i930 and play Family Guy Stews untold story mpeg or watch music videos. The possibilitys of this phone are going to be amazing, on the hacking aspect and for the lame people who just use it. Putting Emulators with Roms on it wouldnt be hard at all. Playing NES games on your i930. **** like this is why this phone is gonna be so badass. For all the bitch's that say its gonna suck, you either dont wanna sign another 2 year agreement, dont have the money and jelous, or your not a nextel subscriber.

I too work for sprint nextel...and well, i say its gonna suck! clearly they dropped the ball making a smartphone without bluetooth, yet another nextel original..

Bluetooth is not the "critical feature" that most people who use a Nextel are looking for.
IDEN phones have long been known for their speakerphones and clearly this remains a critical functionality for these types of devices, (as well as above average durability and battery life).
As a result, the fact that the i930 does not have bluetooth will not impede its sales in the least.
I am not saying that the i930 is a great phone... I think that remains to be seen. However, what I am saying is that those who give a device a "thumbs up" or a "thumbs down" purely based on whether it has bluetooth do not understand that there are other valuable features & capabilities that allow it to play in its target market.
