Motorola i886

On paper, the Motorola i886 seems like a pretty run-of-the-mill Nextel phone. It has push-to-talk with Nextel Direct Connect, stereo Bluetooth, a 2-megapixel camera, a microSD card slot, GPS, and as it is not a smartphone, it has no Wi-Fi. Like most Nextel phones, it is billed as a durable handset, with thick rubberized casing that is military-certified to take a beating. The i886 also looks like a regular messaging handset, with its slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Yet, it has a trick up its sleeve--its user interface looks almost identical to that of Android. Indeed, the multiple home screens, the pull-up menu, and the app icons look uncannily like Android. But it is not--the OS is a proprietary BREW operating system. While we initially thought the use of a fake Android interface was odd, we actually think it's a great idea, as it is far better than the usual Nextel one. The inclusion of Opera Mini is welcome, and we appreciate having a dedicated GetJar app store as well. We do worry that some people might get fooled into thinking it's a smartphone when it's decidedly not. At the end of the day, the Motorola i886 is just a well-made Nextel messaging phone, which is not a bad thing.

Motorola i886

Motorola has thrown us all a curve ball. The push-to-talk Motorola i886 ($79.99-279.99) looks just like any number of iDEN cell phones for Sprint's Nextel network: chunky, rugged, and built for hard use. But this phone packs a hidden secret: it's running the first non-touch version of Android we've seen on a handset. (For more on that great leap forward, see our related feature What's Up With the Motorola i886's Android Build?.) The i886 has a few bugs, and it's not a real smart phone. But it's a nice jump in power from earlier iDEN devices in this price range. The i886 measures 4.6 by 2.0 by 0.7 inches (HWD) and weighs five ounces. It feels tough and rugged in the hand, with plenty of reinforced plastic and a comfy, hard-rubber back panel. The i886 meets military specification 810G for resistance to shock, dust, vibration, extreme temperatures, and humidity. You can't take it swimming, but you can make phone calls in the rain. The 2.2-inch, 240-by-320-pixel LCD looks a little fuzzy, but it exhibits sufficient color and brightness. The Send and End keys are too thin, but I grew accustomed to them over time. The phone has two excellent keypads.

Motorola i886 Review

Nextel is a bit of a time capsule for the cellular industry. The lineup is comprised mostly of flip phones with mediocre specifications, and their signature feature- Direct Connect- is dying a slow death. Sprint has infused considerable cash into the network and refreshed the lineup with new devices, but for the most part things are pretty stagnant in the iDEN world. That makes the Motorola i886 somewhat of a curiosity. What appears to be just another QWERTY side-slider (the first for iDEN, by the way) has a very curious UI that could mark a shift in the cellular landscape. Features of the i886 include a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, side-sliding QWERTY keyboard, Opera Mini browser and the i886 is certified military spec 810G for dust, shock, vibration, low pressure, temperature extremes and solar radiation. Included with the Motorola i886 you’ll get an AC charger, SIM card and 2GB microSD card.When closed, the Motorola i886 is a very solid candybar phone coated in soft touch paint for a quality feel. It has a 2.2” QVGA display with 262K colors with an ambient light sensor.
