The Motorola i686, aka the Brute, is a tough clamshell that is built to military specifications, which means it meets military standards for shock, dust, vibration, extreme temperatures, humidity and other environmental challenges. The phone's exterior is designed for an easy, solid grip.
The Motorola i686 offers two displays: the external display measures 1.3 inches and provides time, date, battery and signal strength information, and the internal, 2.2-inch display offers 176 x 220 pixel resolution.
Features include a 2MP camera with LED flash, video record (352 x 288), MP3 player, basic internet browser and GPS. Additional features: calendar, alarms, Bluetooth and expandable memory up to 8GB via microSD/microSDHC. Talk time is rated up to 5.8 hours and standby time is rated up to 150 hours.
The durable phone is ideal for folks who work in inclement conditions and who need to stay in voice contact rather than share documents. For those busy folks, this phone offers ease of use and dependability.
