Motorola and Nextel Launch Stylish and Productive i760 Handset

“The i760 offers our customers, up to 20, advanced features and reliability regardless of where they are,” said Blair Kutrow, Nextel’s vice president of product management. “The lower price of this handset makes it ideal for families and businesses that need to stay connected.”

“The Motorola i760 combines exciting new technologies and a sleek and fashionable look to an affordable full-featured handset,” said Peter Aloumanis, director, U.S. Markets Division, Motorola’s iDEN® Subscriber Group. “Everyone from the business user to various family members will enjoy using this handset.”

The Motorola i760 uses Java™ technology, allowing users to download and run applications to meet their business and personal needs, as well as global positioning satellite (GPS) technology, which lets users access location-based services such as turn-by-turn driving directionsi. The phone also offers a variety of personalization options, including user-assignable ring tones, wallpaper designs, and navigation shortcuts, at an additional fee.

The i760 is available through all Nextel distribution channels, including retail stores, at a price of $149.99, after a $50 mail in rebate, with a two-year service agreement, new activation and credit approval. Taxes, fees, early termination fee and other charges apply.
