Motorola Brute i680 is a push-to-talk phone for Sprint. It meets Military Specification 810F for shock, vibration, dust, extreme temperatures, humidity, and other forces that mother nature can dish out. What makes this phone unique is that it comes with Sprint Nextel’s exclusive Public Safety application – allowing public safety personnel to communicate if they are out of network range. Despite that attraction, its specs are nothing too unfamiliar – GPS, Bluetooth, 2-megapixel camera, 180MB of internal memory, and a 2.2” internal display with a 1.3” external one.
