Sprint Nextel, the nation's third-largest wireless provider, today announced the Motorola Clutch, its first push-to-talk phone with an integrated QWERTY keyboard.
The company said the Clutch is a rugged handset that meets Military Specification 810F for low pressure, high and low temperatures, dust, shock, vibration and solar radiation.The Clutch's QWERTY keyboard features shortcut keys, IM-style texting and push-to-talk technology. It also has Group Messaging to let customers create groups of up to 20 people to send messages to at the same time. Aside from texting, the handset comes with a VGA digital still and video camera, GPS functionality, Bluetooth wireless technology and third-party applications. "The Motorola Clutch with a QWERTY keyboard gives customers a better way to communicate with friends, family and colleagues," said Danny Bowman, Sprint's President of iDEN Business Unit. "By combining push-to-talk with text messaging, customers have two of the most efficient ways to get business done wirelessly." The Motorola Clutch will be available this summer for $40 with a new two-year contract.
