Sprint today announced that the Motorola i886 iDEN-based push-to-talk handset is now available online and in retail stores for $80 after rebates. The i886 is the first rugged PTT device from Sprint that has a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard, and it meets mil-spec 810G for protection from dust, moisture, shock and temperature extremes. In addition to the standard PTT feature set, the i886 also has a 2 megapixel camera with video capture, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Exchange and POP3/IMAP4 email support, and compatibility with microSD cards up to 32GB.

Going to Miss Milspec

I own a Motorola i1 (One of the few post-paid users of the phone and proud). I only hope that when Sprint finally closes down iDEN, they keep the Nextel name around and keep making robust phones that can survive being in your pocket. Even if they're CDMA. Where as Push-To-Talk may not have as much of a following as it used to, there will always be a Market for phones that don't care if you sit on them.

Missed the biggest feature!
