I'll take this thing over the (piece of) Sholes that they linked to.

Does it at least have a shortcut key to launch missiles, from remote site?]]>Aug 7th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/motorolas-r765is-now-available-at-sprint-perfect-for-making-na/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/motorolas-r765is-now-available-at-sprint-perfect-for-making-na/Aug 7th 2009 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/motorolas-r765is-now-available-at-sprint-perfect-for-making-na/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/motorolas-r765is-now-available-at-sprint-perfect-for-making-na/Aug 7th 2009 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/motorolas-r765is-now-available-at-sprint-perfect-for-making-na/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/motorolas-r765is-now-available-at-sprint-perfect-for-making-na/with each other. Spec ops use MBITR or other high end radios (cost about $5000). The MIL-810F is just the base standard for the military and a lot of organizations use this just because it is a standard. Most devices do not (like this one) use all the methods under 810F. Salt fog just means that it will not rust under those conditions.
The unit only does 0.6 Watts output, so you would not want to be in the middle of nowhere with this guy, especially if you do not have an RF amplifier. It does have a lot more bells & whistles though...

I don't mind a brick...at least I can hold onto a brick, as opposed to a thin wafer. However, I don't find this radio "sexy", I find it "rugged". Sexy doesn't cut it in real-radio land. If you're one who complains about your radio pulling your pants down....wear a belt !

What Motorola should do, is downgrade the power to 600mW on both versions, so Sprint can allow it on the Nextel (and yes, Boost) networks. Even if Motorola still allowed 1 watt in MotoTalk mode, so much the better. But more than 600mW would tear up too many sites in Nextel's low-tier infrastructure, where 1 watt would be no problem on SoLinc. I'd suggest that Motorola do some coding to make the radio kick down to .6W if a Nextel or Boost SIM is used, and 1W if a SoLinc SIM is installed. The dual-SIM arrangement is a real plus.
