Nextel Launches Motorola i265 with GPS

Nextel has an exclusive launch with Motorola’s new i265 moderately priced JAVA handset that features a GPS with turn-by-turn navigation. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have a built in GPS over a poor quality camera any day.

Other features that the phone boasts; 65k color screen, speakerphone, voice recording, voice activation, and individual user-assignable ring tones that tie into your caller ID. Let’s not forget games; the phone will come pre-loaded with 3D Baseball demo and Tetris puzzle game demo with 2mb extra for more games. The phone weighs in around 4.5 ounces and measures 4.8 x 2 x 1 inches with the battery.

The i265 should already be available in retail stores at a price of $89.99 with a two-year service agreement.

Additional features of the i265 include:

- Speakerphone for convenient hands-free conversations
