Other interesting features of the Motorola i786w include an MP3 player, Bluetooth Stereo, microUSB connectivity and built-in GPS.
“Motorola i786w completes our portfolio with a perfect option to meet customers’ needs, with a device offering convenience and personality through its design and mulitmedia features,” says Wagner Mendonça, iDEN sales director, Motorola Mobility.
