Motorola Clutch i465: First Full-Keyboard Nextel Direct Connect Phone

The Motorola Clutch i465 is the first full-keyboard cell phone to feature Nextel Direct Connect, which allows for the popular walkie-talkie or push-to-talk feature.
In addition, group messaging allows customers to create groups of up to 20 people to send messages to all at the same time.

Price

While the no-contract retail price of the Motorola Clutch i465 starts all the way up at a pricey $259.99, $170 in instant savings as well as a $50 mail-in rebate bring the price down to an extremely affordable $39.99.

The $39.99 price requires a two-year service contract. The price also requires a new line of service or an eligible upgrade (meaning you haven’t upgraded your cell phone in two years).

Helio Ocean 2

The Helio Ocean 2 has a spacious QWERTY keyboard and number keypad and an innovative optical sensor touch pad that allows for easier navigation. It has plenty of features like EV-DO, GPS, a full HTML browser with tabbed browsing, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support, quick access to several popular social networks, and more.

The bad: The Helio Ocean 2 is bulky, plus it lacks external music keys, an LED flash for the camera, and a self-portrait mirror. The microSD card slot is inconveniently located behind the battery.

The bottom lineThe bottom line: If you can get over its size, the Helio Ocean 2 is a great feature-rich handheld with enough Web-friendly goodies to please both tech-savvy hipsters and mobile professionals.
