Motorola i1

New evidence has surfaced telling of impending “end of life” statuses for several of Sprint’s devices. Some are Android, some aren’t. Highlights include the HTC EVO 4G, Sprint’s original “superphone” following their moderately successful debut Android, the HTC Hero. Also on the list is the Samsung Epic 4G, the only Galaxy S phone with a [...]

Hate to be all bad news bears this morning, but the Cliq XT won’t be the only device from Motorola’s lineup not receiving an Android update. Their Android Software Upgrade list has been updated accordingly. I suppose the good news is that the Motorola FLIPOUT, Charm, and i1 will be stuck at Android 2.1 as [...]

Sprint’s announced that their rugged Motorola i1 – the first and only PTT Android phone on their iDEN network – will soon be receiving a maintenance upgrade over the air. (As of yesterday, the upgrade was available over the wire by stopping into any Sprint store.) You’ll get tons of bug fixes and a few [...]

Boost Mobile may have launched the Motorola i1 for their customers on June 20th, but Sprint’s not being stingy in bringing it to their customers as well. As they announced not too long ago, the device has been available since yesterday on their website. Initially, Sprint’s offering it to those willing to order online and [...]

As of today the first iDEN push-to-talk Android phone to come onto the market is now available at Boost Mobile retails stores. For the price of $299.99 you’ll get a pay as you go smartphone featuring a 3.1-inch touchscreen military grade hardware to combat the roughest elements and keep our little green robot safe. The [...]

When the latest edition of Sprint’s playbook magazine (for authorized dealers) leaked earlier this month, we learned that the Motorola i1 had been marked on their calendar for a July 25th launch (following rumors that July 20th would be its landing date). Today, Sprint’s confirming those rumors with an official announcement. The Motorola i1 will [...]

Unfortunately, Sprint’s latest Playbook didn’t reveal anything new regarding the Samsung EPIC 4G (like a release date and price), but the lesser-anticipated Motorola i1 seems to have gotten a final retail date. According to the calendar section of the magazine for third-party authorized Sprint dealers, its launch is said to be happening July 25th, 2010. [...]

Right in line with what we just learned regarding Sprint’s plans for launching the Motorola i1 under their own brand, they’ve announced that Boost Mobile will also be launching the phone June 20th. This release, however, will be an in-store launch exclusively for Boost Mobile and all Best Buy/Best Buy Mobile stores. The i1 has [...]

According to an internal launch calendar grabbed by BGR, Sprint’s planning a pair of device launches on July 11th. The first device – the Motorola i1 – was expected to ship to Sprint stores on June 20th, but it’s actually only being directly shipped to customers who order the phone online (or by phone, if [...]

Earlier today we got out eyes on an image touting the iDEN-ready Motorola i1 getting priced at $149.99 on contract for Sprint. This wasn’t all that surprising, as Sprint was actually what everyone expected before the Sprint-owned Boost Mobile went and got the word out that the pre-paid phone carrier would also be offering this [...]

After it was suggested that the Motorola i1 would be going to Boost Mobile, PhoneDog’s reporting that Sprint is set to get some of the love, as well. On June 20th, we should be expecting this device on its way to Sprint stores according to yet another internal Sprint screenshot. It’ll cost $149.99 (on contract, [...]

The Motorola i1 has been making the rounds this week. We first learned it would be available on regional carrier SoutherLINC Wireless, and that it would also be heading to Boost Mobile as America’s first pre-paid iDEN Android phone. Now word is out that it will also find its way to Latin America through NII [...]

One drawback to the pay-as-you-go model of Boost Mobile and other month-to-month carriers is that their system doesn’t leave much room for subsidizing handset costs, and while $349.99 for the Motorola i1 at Best Buy certainly isn’t an astronomical figure to ask for the iDEN Android, it isn’t exactly what everyone wants to be paying [...]

We just found out that the rugged Motorola i1 is available on SouthernLINC Wireless, and we are now learning of what will potentially be the next carrier to host the first iDEN ‘Droid. MobileCrunch has gotten their hands on a little promotional image that shows Boost Mobile getting the handset, which will be sold exclusively through [...]

The iDEN-ready Motorola i1 is now out on SouthernLINC Wireless for a two-year contract price of $199.99. And while the specs might not blow you away, if you are at all familiar with other iDEN phones many are often designed to be of the hard-to-accidentally-destroy variety. Along with the 3.1-inch HVGA touchscreen, 5MP camera, and [...]

Seeing as how the Motorola i1 is the very first Push-To-Talk (PTT) Android phone, I’m MOST interest in seeing this feature demonstrated. Grab two i1′s and show us how they communicate using android and the PTT features, right? That’d be nice, but we’ll have to settle for a tour of the phone’s other features. They [...]

The Motorola i1 is the first Android phone with Push-To-Talk iDen service and Engadget has also got the first legit hands-on with the device. Over a shmoozified meal with Mike Rowe, it seems they grabbed enough pictures and hands-on time to earn a few first impressions, and the outlook is good. They said that specs [...]

One important tidbit left out of the initial Motorola i1 announcement was what version of Android the phone runs. Now we know thanks to an official Sprint Fact sheet that gives us the bad news – the i1 runs Android 1.5 – a pretty darn old version of Android compared to what everyone else will [...]

Motorola and Sprint have just officially announced the world’s first PTT (Pust-To-Talk) Android Phone with the Motorola i1, initially rumored as the Motorola Opus One earlier this year. The i1, which will be available this summer, features 3.1-inch touch screen, 5MP camera, Wi-Fi, Opera Mini 5 browser, and of course a push-to-talk experience atop Android. [...]

We recently learned the Motorola Opus One would be named the Motorola i1 and head to Sprint Nextel and Boost Mobile as the first Push-To-Talk Android Phone. There are a couple new details about the i1 that you should know about. First of all, since December 2009 the device was rumored to have a 3MP [...]
