First Ever Push-To-Talk, Android Smartphone: i1

Motorola has just announced that it will be bringing the first ever push-to-talk, Android smartphone to market, exclusive to Sprint.  The phone is called the i1.  Here are the specs that have been announced:

• 3.1-inch HVGA (320 x 480) touchscren
• 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and 4x zoom
• WiFi
• MicroSD expansion
• Android OS 1.5
• No mention of the processor

The phone will use Opera Mini 5 and as the teaser posters with Dirty Jobs' Mike Rowe would suggest, the phone is designed to take a beating.  Additionally, Motorola has said that despite the presence of the green call button and blue contacts button in official screen shots, the i1 does not have Motoblur.  This raises questions about what Motoblur actually is and what skin the i1 will be running.  Look to see this guy released this summer.
