Guest midnight Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Over at Engadget you can see a couple of real pictures of the Motorola i930, all very exciting if you ask me :D While the rest of the gadget world was looking at the MPX and MPX 220, Motorola snuck out the i930 for the folks at JavaOne. We went to the show expecting the same old story and the same old phones, so we left the good camera at home. Stumbling into the Motorola booth, what’s the first thing that catches our eye but the long rumored Microsoft Smartphone for iDen networks like Nextel. As expected not only will this be iDen’s first smartphone, it will also be the first iDen phone to have a camera. Motorola didn’t tell us the resolution but we know it’s VGA or less or else they would have made special mention. It’s also the first iDen phone we’ve seen (possibly the first Microsoft Smartphone we’ve seen) to have a HUGE external display. It’s gigantic, and color. Like all iDen phones it has Push-to-Talk, Java, and aGPS. sadly, like other iDen phones, it lacks Bluetooth or IR. It looks to be running Smartphone 2003 second edition, which seemed pretty stable on the model we tried, but there’s still no word on when this handset will be launched.

Guest nickcornaglia Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 is there a push-to-talk network in the UK or Europe? What other carriers other than Nextel in the US are candidates for this phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Taoski Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Looks pretty chunky! The button layout is nice though - and the big color external screen too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PiTT Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 for those of you who are unfamiliar with iDEN, it is a cdma network with PTT capabilities, and a different system for data. it is carried by Nextel in the US and Telus in Canada i believe ( dont mark my words, but im pretty sure) also Boost mobile prepaid service ONLY on the west coast of America. the reason why iDEN phones are so huge, is because of the PTT system and the super loud speaker phones. the i830 which just came out is the smallest phone they carry (which isn't saying much, its still a little big compared to GSM phones) when it says that the i930 is iDEN/GSM, its meaning that its ONLY iDEN but you can travel to another country outside the US and get GSM coverage. it DOES NOT mean you can use this phone on a carrier like Tmobile/att/cingular. i thought id post this for all you euro's who dont use PTT. btw, nextel has THE BEST Ptt service in the world, i use it myself along with TMobile gsm, and i love the PTT its almost instant, unlike any other bullcrap PTT service offered by anyone else.
