Motorola i860 with Walkie-Talkie Available From Nextel

The new Motorola i860 camera phone is designed for overall ease of use and supports Nextel's walkie-talkie service.

Nextel Multimedia Messaging service, available first on the Motorola i860 handset, is designed for overall ease of use. It allows for a high level of expression and personalization by allowing messages to include text, images and audio altogether. The i860 allows these messages to be sent from several locations on the handset - eliminating needless extra steps - including the Message Center where voicemail and multimedia messages can be managed in one central location. Additionally, the i860 can capture photos and record up to ten seconds of video with audio.

Multimedia Messaging can be exchanged in three simple ways:

between one i860 phone and another i860 phone,
between an i860 phone and any e-mail address or
between an i860 phone and a user's personal account on Nextel.com.

Multimedia Messaging can also be sent from an i860 phone to other two-way-messaging capable Nextel phones, and the recipient can read the text portion of the message and even forward it to an e-mail account to hear the audio and see images. Additionally, users can send multiple attachments (up to 100 kilobytes) in a single multimedia message.

Features of the Motorola i860 handset are:

GPS

The Motorola i860 handset weighs 4.77 ounces and measures 1.96 x 3.45 x 1.01 inches. It has 25,000 kilobytes of memory for storing multimedia messages, and it is available through all Nextel distribution channels, including retail stores, at a price of $299.99 with a two-year service agreement, new activation and credit approval.
