Fresh rumor of the day; Sprint may be getting the iDEN tainted Motorola ROKR. Says who? Well so far we got the image above to go by on, but it seems like a good bet that Boost will be bearing this iDEN slider with hopefully a decent unlimited monthly rate plan.
For those of you out there wanting a simple handset that will meet your daily requirements without all the bling bling of QWERTYs and such, well Motorola gives you the i856. It meets your usual and low demanding requirements of outdoor picture taking, and music playback. The handset is available from Boost, and considering its Boost, this isn’t bad deal at all. Sure it’s not as shiny and sparkly as the i9 but it does have a compact size, 2.2-inch display, sliding 0-9 keypad, 1.3 megapixel camera, dedicated media key, Bluetooth 2.0, microSD support and PTT support. For Boost this is definitely a competitive offer. Any takers?
Motorola’s rugged handset, i465, which really seems like it gets a good bunch of the step-child treatment, has gotten the nod from FCC. Apparently ‘good looks’ isn’t part of FCC’s criteria for deciding on a good phone. The i465 is the first full QWERTY iDEN handset by Motorola, and not even fancy press photos could make this guy look good. The battery cover has been designed to substitute as mountain climbing gear, it’s as rugged hiking boots. Here are the press images, hope you can stomach ‘em.
While it’s no new news that the Motorola i9 has touched down on Sprint, but exactly what will the Nextel crowd get? Will they left out when the sleekest handset to come to Sprint in a while is around town? Nope. Word has it that the Motorola i9 will be landing on Nextel on March 12. So everybody gets some iDEN love. As for pricing look forward to $249.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate. And from the images you can very well see, this is one bulky RAZR, oh well, good lookin’ in any case.
Are you a fan of texting and living on the iDEN side of the road? Well then you will love Motorola i465. It’s almost like the Martin Luther King of iDEN cell phone. (Or a really great basketball player at the very least). The phone features a QWERTY keyboard Bluetooth 2.0 and a VGA camera. Ok its great that Motorola cares about all the little people, but if it really cared why wouldn’t it give us a better camera? I mean VGA? Does anyone even remember what that stands for anymore? The phone isn’t going to the world pageant either but I guess iDEN users would like it for other reasons. After all beauty is skin or OS deep. And speaking of OS, its definitely not on windows mobile and don’t expect the any great specs to be revealed over the course of time. And after a VGA camera, why would you anyway. The price and release date are not yet known.
