Boost Mobile confirm release date for crazy-tough Motorola i1: June 20th
The device is Boost Mobile’s first Android offering (and arguably their best phone yet), and is also the first Android device to offer iDEN push-to-talk functionality.
The biggest selling point of the device, however, is that it conforms to Military standard 810F, making it dust-, shock- and rain-proof.
The specs include a 3.1″ 320×480 “tough” touchscreen, WiFi b/g, a 5 MP auto-focus camera with LED flash, a 500Mhz freescale Zeus 2.0 processor, with 256MB RAM and 512MB on-board storage (plus a MicroSD slot, of course). It will also come preloaded with Opera Mini 5, to help speed up browsing.
The handset will be sold though Best Buy for $349 on Boost’s $50 unlimited data/web/text plan, which is pretty rad.
