First Android non touchscreen phone

Motorola has launched the first non touchscreen android device. The Motorola i886. It cannot be said to be purely android as it seems to be running some sort of android. But more or less it is Android.

It's built for sprint's iDen network. It has a very few normal android apps. It seems to be running a J2ME virtual machine on top of the core Android platform. The i886 doesn't have the android market nor many of the native android applications which was actually created for touchscreen phones. It has access to Getjar application catalog.

Both Sprint and Motorola has kept mum till now about the software. They didn't specify anything other than saying it is proprietary.
