Motorola i886 – Android-based iDEN with QWERTY – Hits FCC
Motorola’s gearing up to launch their next Android-based iDEN phone as the Motorola i886 just traversed through the FCC in familiar fashion. The FCC filing brought to surface the phone’s user guide which gives us a very clear look at what we’re getting. It’s unique not just because it’s the first Android-based iDEN with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, but because it’s the first Android-based phone with both a slide-out QWERTY and a traditional hardware alphanumeric keypad (at least as far as I can remember.)
There aren’t many specs to talk about yet, but we know it’ll feature Push-to-Talk support over the iDEN network, a 2-megapixel camera with video recording, microSD card support, GPS, and Bluetooth. No word on which version of Android it’s running, but we’d venture to guess 2.1 with MOTOBLUR.
Head on over to the FCC to check out the user guides for yourself (.pdf files) where they tell you things like “when you open your phone, the screen adjusts for you.” I would hope it did.
