Motorola Opus rechristened to i1
Motorola Opus is expected to make an official announcement at the CTIA Wireless in Las Vegas next month. The iDEN based device is attracting people because of its name. Instead of Opus, Motorola will be calling it i1. This gives a hint that even i2 and i3 are in development.
It’s likely that i1 will run Android 1.5 and will be loaded with various features including 3-megapixel camera. Since it’s an iDEN device, it surely will be having push-to-talk functionality.
Motorola is expected to make easy money with this iDEN-based Android smartphone. Though it’s not a large market but at the same time the product lacks competition, which is a positive sign. As it is Motorola is ruling Nextel’s offering and by adding an Android device the brand could at least bring their margins to some higher level. The i1 is expected to be a bit more expensive than some other MOTO phones sold through Sprint-owned networks, Nextel and Boost Mobile included.
