Motorola announces Clutch i465 push-to-talk QWERTY messaging phone



Motorola has announced the Clutch i465, the company's first push-to-talk handset that includes a full-QWERTY keyboard. With military-grade durability and a unique design that enables it to be gripped with ease, the Clutch i465 will withstand shock, vibration, dust and solar radiation.

Users will be able to decide between quick push-to-talk access to their contacts or fast messaging capabilities with the full-QWERTY keyboard. The device features threaded text messaging and support for MMS and POP3 e-mail.

The i465 also includes a camera with video recording capabilities, which should look sharp on the device's 1.79-inch 64k color TFT display. Bluetooth 1.2 is included for use with hands-free headsets.

The Motorola Clutch i465 will be available with Boost Mobile in the second quarter of 2009. Pricing and specific availability have not yet been announced.
