Military spec Motorola Titanium for Sprint to launch on July 24th
Motorola already has a somewhat disaster-proof cell phone on T-Mobile but with the launch of the Titanium later this month, it will have one on Sprint too. Standards features are a bit on the low side – you get an Android 2.1 device that features a rugged QWERTY keyboard and physical Android buttons, a 5MP camera, and a bundled 2GB microSD card. But with the user base that Sprint/Motorola is looking at, these don’t really matter. What matters is that the device meets military 810G specifications, which means that it can take quite a few tumbles, dips and a fair amount of dust and shock – the phone can also survive solar radiation or low pressures even if you don’t. The handset also supports Nextel’s Direct Connect, which is a replacement for the age-old push-to-talk service that we haven’t heard about in a good while.
The Titanium will be launching on 24th of this month, according to Sprint Feed which got its hands on a flyer showing off the device and will be sold at a price of $150, which sounds like a great deal, if your slippery fingers have cost you more than one device in the past.
