Sprint has launched the Motorola Brute i686 designed for those who work in the most extreme conditions and need an equally tough and feature-rich phone. It has all the features Nextel customers have come to depend on, including the best-in-class push-to-talk capabilities of Nextel Direct Connect, support for business applications and Mil-Spec durability.
Motorola Brute i686 meets Military Specification 810G for dust, shock, vibration, low temperature, high temperature, low pressure, solar radiation, salt fog, humidity, blowing rain and immersion1. It may be immersed into up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes when the battery door is attached properly, and the headset jack and micro-USB connector are properly covered and sealed.
This rugged phone also offers a rubberized housing with a non-slip grip and is the ideal phone for anyone who will encounter extreme conditions. Motorola Brute i686 incorporates a 2-megapixel camera with flash, SMS and MMS messaging, large internal and external color display, GPS (Global Positioning System), large battery, music and stereo Bluetooth.
It also offers the ability to switch from an active push-to-talk call to an interconnect voice call for longer conversations.
