Nextel Communications Inc. and Motorola Inc. have released the Motorola i836, a phone that pretty reasonably claims to be “sleek and stylish.” With a metallic graphite-colored finish and lines inspired by an Italian sports car, Nextel says the “Motorola i836 looks as good as it performs.”

“The i836 offers Nextel customers instant connectivity and reliability in a beautiful, well-designed package,” said Blair Kutrow, Nextel’s vice president of Product Management. “The dynamic features of the i836, including Group Connect, make it a must-have tool for managing both business and personal needs.”

“The Motorola i836 handset represents the latest evolution of design in Motorola’s iDEN product portfolio,” said Rey More’, senior vice president and general manager, Motorola’s iDEN® Devices. “Its elegant graphite color and stylish design appeal to those who desire the latest in innovative technology and distinctive style.”

The Motorola i836 uses JavaT technology, allowing users to download and run applications to meet their business and personal needs, as well as global positioning satellite (GPS) technology, which lets users access location-based services such as turn-by-turn driving directions i. The phone also offers a variety of personalization options, including user-assignable ring tones, wallpaper designs, and navigation shortcuts.

The i836 measures 3.4″ x 1.9″ x 0.94″ and weighs approximately four ounces. It is currently available through all Nextel distribution channels, including retail stores, at a price of $199.99, with a two-year service agreement, new activation and credit approval.
