Motorola i95cl goes Out-Of-Stock in Nextel (2002-8-5)

The first color javaphone in the USA, Nextel's sleek i95cl went out-of-stock early August barely 1 month after its release as manufacturers could not keep up with very strong demand for the new phone. Customers can still order the device via phone, but will have to wait 2 weeks or more for delivery.

The i95cl has a 120 x 160-pixel color display that can show up to 256 colors for Java applications. To accommodate color applications such as games and streaming video, the phone offers expanded Java functionality. It contains expanded memory capabilities, enhanced T9 text input and Lightweight Windowing Toolkit (LWT) functionality.

Pre-installed Java applications in the MIDP capable phone include the games EA SPORTS PGA TOUR Golf provided by JAMDAT Mobile Inc. and the motocycle game MotoGP from THQ; as well as a calculator tool, expense pad, and several selectable wallpaper patterns. Nextel Wireless Web customers can download additional applications and musical MIDI ring tones at www.nextel.com/idenupdate.
