Sprint launch Motorola i1 in the July 25

The Motorola i1 melds expected smartphone features with business-geared applications and military-spec ruggedness. There's Android 1.5, a 3.1-inch HVGA touch screen with a virtual keypad, a 5-megapixel camera with flash and video capabilities, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, and built-in GPS—which can be used to geo-tag images, or paired with Sprint's Mobile Locator application to track and locate employees.

The i1 is the first Android device to support Nextel Direct Connect's push-to-talk service, and it also features a rugged design, a 3.1-inch HVGA touch screen, a 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.

The phone will ship on July 25th for a rather meat and potatoes $150 (after rebate) and Sprint is offering a guarantee that if customers aren’t entirely satisfied with the i1’s rugged toughness, they can return it within 30 days for a full refund including fees and taxes. Of course, big strong men don’t whine about their phones, so this may be a pretty safe bet for Sprint.
