Motorola and Nextel Communications are ready with the Motorola i560, a rugged flip-style mobile phone that delivers multiple ways to communicate and increase productivity. The Motorola i560 is designed for anyone who exposes a handset to extreme conditions, from construction and public safety workers to rock climbers and cyclists. The Motorola i560 is certified to meet military standards for dust, shock, vibration, temperature extremes, low pressure and solar radiation. Its external display allows information such as incoming calls, time and date to be quickly viewed without the need to open the phone. The Motorola i560 provides Nextel's unmatched walkie-talkie capabilities, including the coast-to-coast and country-to-country reach of Nextel's Nationwide Direct Connect and International Direct ConnectSM services. The Motorola i560 also offers the Group ConnectSM service, enabling group walkie-talkie conversations with up to 20 participants nationwide, and the Direct TalkSMservice, allowing short-range walkie-talkie communications in areas without network coverage. The Motorola i560 fully supports Java, allowing users to run many applications that range from business tools to games. It is also equipped with Nextel Multimedia Messaging service, enabling messages to include text, images and audio altogether. Some of the many other features of the Motorola i560 include an internal color display, speakerphone, voice recorder, voice-activated dialing, GPS capabilities and an Internet microbrowser. The airplane mode allows the network signal to be turned off during flight while certain applications such as the date book can be accessed. The Motorola i560 is available through all Nextel distribution channels, including retail stores, at a price of $149.99.
