Motorola's i886 runs on Sprint's iDEN network and offers both a physical QWERTY keyboard and a semi-rugged design. There's also the Android-like operating system to make things interesting.

Ruggedized PTT-capable handsets that have QWERTY keyboards are few and far between. It's because of their scarcity that Motorola cooked up the i886, a new sideways slider that offers protection against daily abuse and a full physical keyboard for easier messaging tasks. Does this combination really make for the killer device some users want? Phone Scoop finds out.
