Remember that Motorola Opus we’ve seen back in December of 2009? The iDEN based gimmick seems to be drift towards the functionary announcement, possibly at the CTIA Wireless in Las Vegas next month. The new matter is the name – instead of Opus, Motorola (New York Stock Exchange: MOT test) will call option it i1 (meaning the i2 and maybe even i3 is in development?).

We don’t have all the inside information, but we’ve heard the i1 will run Android 1.5 (why not 2.1 or at least 2.0?) and will come equipped with 3-megapixel camera. Since it’s an iDEN gimmick, push-to-talking functionality volition presumably be incorporated, as wellspring.

The means I see it, releasing an iDEN-based Android smartphone is easy money for Motorola. It’s not a large market, but at the same meter there is no much contention. MOTO is already opinion Nextel’s oblation and with the summation of an Android device they could at least bring their margins to some higher level — as we guess the i1 will be at least a turn more expensive than some other MOTO phones sold via Sprint (NYSE: S)-owned networks, Nextel and Boost Mobile River included. We’ll keep observation, rich person no doubts about it.
