The Motorola i1 is one such handset–it’s the first Google Android phone for Boost Mobile, and it’s also the first Google Android smartphone to run on Nextel’s iDEN network. It’s quite a rugged device–for a touch screen phone anyway–and it’s also the only Android phone to support push-to-talk, which is a big deal if you’re a Boost or Nextel customer. However, the i1 is saddled with Android 1.5, which is a relatively obsolete version of the operating system, and the iDEN network doesn’t have fast data speeds. However, Motorola may release a software update in the future, so we’ll keep hoping for improvements on that front. Overall, it’s certainly not the best Android phone we’ve seen, but it makes for a serviceable touch-screen smartphone, especially if you’re an iDEN die-hard. The Motorola i1 is available for 9.99, but bear in mind that price without a contract from Boost Mobile.

Will that black button on the bottom of the phone fall off like the rest of Motorola phones? Like the Sliver and Razor?
