The Motorola i570 has the look of a “normal” Sprint-Nextel phone: meaning rugged exterior, a bit bulky, stubby antenna and small screen.

EngadgetMobile has more: “The new Sprint-Nextel Motorola i570 laughs in the face of iDEN / CDMA hybrid and Qchat technologies, kicking it totally old-school with a straight up iDEN implementation that hearkens back to a simpler (read: less interesting) time. The Motorola i570’s features include integrated GPS, teeny, tiny color primary and monochrome external displays, and a ruggedized shell.”

Motorola i570 (Nextel) Reviews From cellphones

The out door external display is just what these rugged phones needed. If you are looking for a phone with a camera, video camera, something to play video games on or any of that other BS, this phone is not for you. This is plain and simply just a phone. It has a loud ringer, that can be heard over saws, air tools and machinery. It can be dropped and not break. I’ve dropped mine, some times I cringe thinking that was really hard and the phone is toast, but to my surprise it always works. I am a contractor, I needed a phone with the push to talk and nothing else. The buttons are easy enough for my big fingers to push. The features the phone has are easy to use. In fact on the scale of 1-10 for features I am going to give this phone a 10. Because I am reviewing a phone and all the features a phone really needs, it has and does them well. I hope this helps people like my self who just want a phone with out all the useless junk
