The Motorola i850 Design Streamlined & Durable

Nextel has long been known for the rugged designs of its cellular phones. Because those who rely on Nextel services are those who focus mainly on function rather than fashion, there are no complaints about older Nextel models at all. However, through the Motorola i850, Nextel proved that mobile phones need not be one or the other. Truly, the Motorola i850 encompasses both function and fashion through a streamlined yet durable design.

The Motorola i850 is a clamshell phone small enough to comfortably fit at the palm of your hands. Although it has an antenna that sticks out from the modern shell, this only seems to contribute to its classy yet tough appearance.

These buttons include a four-way navigation button for easy use of the mobile phone’s functions. A TFT full color display can also be seen.

This display uses 262,000 colors and will therefore provide more than satisfactory digital images.

Above the main color display of the Motorola i850, a VGA camera is built in. This camera has the capacity to take photos of 640 x 480 in size. However, it is also capable of creating smaller photos for the purpose of thumbnails. Apart from this, the Motorola i850 also allows a monochrome display for the benefit of its camera users. Because of this, its users can take good quality black and white digital photos anytime they would like to.

At the back portion of the mobile phone, the speakerphone can be found. Because it is neatly installed within the mobile phone’s internal structure, it does not affect the design at all.
