Today Sprint introduced a tough new phone from Motorola for the Nextel Direct Connect Network. The Motorola Clutch i465 has a rugged candy bar form factor perfect for construction workers, military and law enforcement.

“Sprint Nextel Direct Connect customers are used to the immediate communications offered by push-to-talk devices, but Motorola Clutch i465 with a QWERTY keyboard gives those customers a better way to instantly communicate with friends, family and colleagues,” said Danny Bowman, president of Sprint’s iDEN Business Unit. “By combining Nextel Direct Connect with text messaging, Sprint customers have two of the most efficient ways to get business done wirelessly.”
