Motorola’s i870 is another combination between a cell phone and a health device. It comes with the AgION anti-microbial coating, a safe, non-toxic silver ion technology which helps inhibit the growth of microbes such as bacteria and mold on the handset’s painted surfaces. Thus it’d keep your hand clean, at least from the phone’s bacterias.

The two-way radio capability, provided by Selective Dynamic Group Call technology, enables users to setup a talk groups for up to 20 people, which allows users to stay in touch when they are nearby or on the road. MOTOtalk allows users who are outside of the coverage area to manually transfer to a two-way radio-to-radio communication mode with a range of up to six miles depending upon specific conditions, such as terrain.

Motorola’s i870 also features a Transflash removable memory and support for Bluetooth and Wide Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (WiDEN). This network lets users to send and receive data up to four times faster than the current iDEN network.
