Motorola have pulled the wraps of their latest entry level device, the i867. This one is destined for Brazil via Nextel, and will be available in a couple of promotions on the carrier.
So what do we have? One of the biggest features that they're pushing with this device is the Push To Talk two-way radio. Such features are still pretty desirable around the world, despite not being something we usually look for around here.
Otherwise, specs are definitely low end. 3.1-inch screen, an included 2GB MicroSD card -- support is there for 32GB though -- and Android 2.1. Thats right, it launches with Eclair. Low end or not, that's pretty unacceptable in 2012. The i867 is available from Nextel now.

Nextel phones are known for their ruggedness. In fact, when I had one that was the primary reason; PTT wasn't even secondary. I know there's a market for rugged Android phones, but why are their specs always so anemic?
before people start bashing Sprint. Remember this is Nextel International and not Sprint-Nextel, it's a totally different company.
