Sprint Motorola i365IS

Sprint have announced the Motorola i365IS, where the “IS” stands for “Intrinsically Safe”. According to Sprint, the i365IS “is incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal energy to ignite fuel and cause a fire or explosion” and is safe to use in areas containing flammable gasses, vapors or dust. Personally, I’d like any cellphone I use to be incapable of exploding, but maybe that’s too much to ask. As well as promising not to go supernova in your front pocket, the i365IS has push-to-talk (PTT), military-spec ruggedization and Bluetooth.
You’re not getting a high-definition screen ideal for the latest ripped DivX movie - in fact 130 x 130 with 64k colors is your lot - but there’s a speakerphone, MMS, embedded GPS and multi-line support. The i365IS supports all the latest PTT services, including Group Connect, International Direct Connect (well, if by International you mean Mexico and Canada) and short-range non-cellular Direct TalkSM.
The Motorola i365IS is seemingly not yet available from Sprint, though the basic non-IS i365 is priced at around $90 with a new two-year agreement. Sprint haven’t announced availability or pricing for the new handset yet.
