On July 7th Nextel launched the Motorola i670. This iDEN phone is aimed at the lower end of the Nextel line up. With the online price point being at $49.99 after all discounts for a new line of service (as of today’s date).

The i670 is upgradeable to WiDEN, Nextel’s answer to high speed wireless data on the Nextel Nationwide Network. The i670’s features also include…
Direct Talk off Network Walkie-Talkie
65k Color Display
Group Walkie-Talkie
Direct Send
A Date Book that will automatically turn on the phone when needed
The i670 is not a high end phone, but if you are looking for a functional and rugged phone without all the bells and whistles, this could be it.
