The i686 is a push-to-talk model that delivers excellent quality voice calls. The i686 looks and feels like a robust phone with a weight of 5.6 ounces. It feels solid and has an excellent keypad suitable for use even by people with larger hands. Despite the larger size (3.9" x 2.1" x 1") and weight (5.6 ounces), the i686 will still fit comfortably into a large pocket or tool belt. The case of the i686 is in a workmanlike gray and black rubber that has a solid feel, but still feels comfortable. The phone has all of the standard jacks for headphones and a USB connector.

i386 and i686 are identifiers that indicate what type of processor the system will run on. i386 means that the system was compiled for the Intel 80386 (a very old processor), and is upwards-compatible with all other x86 processors, including the latest i7s and Phenoms. i686 indicates that the system was compiled for the Intel Pentium Pro, and will thus run on that and all newer x86 processors (from the Pentium II to current processors), but will not run on an 80386, 80486, or the original Pentium.

If given a choice, you will generally want a distribution compiled for i686, as it will perform slightly better on newer processors than i386.
