Motorola i890 CABO in the wild!

Wow, iDEN's looking less and less like a technology on the decline every time it's in the news. First we have Dan Hesse himself saying that Nextel's network is staying put, and now we've got live shots of the rumored CABO from Motorola, a phone that'll presumably be a part of that 2008 iDEN product barrage promised last month. We're hearing that CABO is merely a codename; by the time it hits retail it'll likely be called the i890, and will make pretty much every RAZR 2 in town jealous of its second-to-none PTT capabilities. One thing's for sure: this definitely ain't your grandpappy's iDEN phone. More news on this one as we get it!

Talking about bad timing. They're announcing this as iDen is dying which, of course, is the advent of Motorola who, at least their mobile sector, is dying, as well.

Will this revive them? I strongly doubt it. Nice, phone, though. Make a GSM version.
