    CNET Review

    July 27, 2006

    The Good: The Motorola i580 offers a rugged design and a respectable set of features, including Bluetooth, a megapixel camera, an MP3 player, and a Micro SD card slot. It's also one of few cell phones from a U.S. carrier to support two separate phone lines.

    The Bad: The Motorola i580 is bulky and has a small external display. It lacks external music controls, and the battery life is a bit short.

    The Bottom Line: The Motorola i580 isn't pretty, but it packs an excellent feature set and decent call quality in a durable design.

    Review Summary: This military-grade clamshell promises to withstand drops, dust and even rain, and it packs in a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and a music player. Did it pass our punishing boot camp?
