The i890 is a jack-of-all-trades, so to speak, as it is meant to take care of both the business person, as well as the those who need a lot of media in their lives. It has a slim form factor, has a 2MP camera with 4x digital zoom, fixed focus, and a camcorder. It also has stereo Bluetooth, and a built-in MP3 player. However, one of the most interesting features would be the phone’s ability to change from a push-to-talk connection, to a “regular” phone call just by the push of a button. It’s also got a Quick Release button for super-easy one-handed operation, and external media keys integrated with haptic feedback.

The phone will go for $129.99 on a new, two-year agreement for new customers, or those eligible for an upgrade. It’s also got a $50 mail-in rebate. Obviously, the phone is only available on the Nextel Direct Connect plans, so if those aren’t your thing, this phone is definitely not for you. But, if you like your walkie-talkies, then you should definitely consider this phone. Just look at those stylized good looks!

NextMail Locator gives mobile teams access to location-based information to enhance their NextMail messaging, including the ability to add the GPS coordinates, location timestamp, physical street address and an interactive map of their position to their NextMail messages. The interactive map allows recipients to see an aerial view of the sender’s location, a hybrid view showing the names of roads and streets surrounding the sender, and a bird’s eye view that provides a direct “snapshot” of the physical location of the sender. NextMail Locator provides verification of field service events, exceptions and deliveries. First responders, inspectors and others can use this tool to document and share the details involved in an incident, including its GPS location and map, to provide their command centers with real-time situational awareness.

NextMail Locator is now available on select GPS-enabled Nextel and PowerSource phones, including the BlackBerry Curve 8350i. Unlimited use of NextMail Locator is available for $19.99 per month, in addition to the customer’s monthly plan including Nextel Direct Connect.
