The Motorola i605 is said to be the first rugged Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone. The rugged handset offers exclusive features, including Nextel's walkie-talkie service.
This Motorola i605 phone is designed primarily for users in industries such as field services, construction, transportation and government segments. Consumers looking for a rugged, durable cell phone could benefit from the i605 also.
The integrated Bluetooth technology enables the wireless exchange of information between devices within a range of 10 meters/30 feet, eliminating the need for wire connections.
"By incorporating Bluetooth wireless technology into the Motorola i605 phone, we are offering users a convenient way to go hands-free, eliminating the need for wires or cables between the phone and a compatible Bluetooth enabled headset, laptop computer and potentially other compatible Bluetooth-enabled devices," said Rey More, senior vice president and general manager at Motorola.
