Motorola I9 for Boost Mobile

MOTOROLA I9

It looks like Boost Mobile is getting serious about the prepaid market. Not that they weren’t before. Recently, though, they’ve launched a new unlimited plan, and have a few handsets lined up for use with it. We heard yesterday about the Motorola I9 which will show up at Boost by the end of February. Specs after the jump.

From the press release:

* a slim, refined design at only 15mm with a touch-sensitive exterior flip;
* the first 3.1 megapixel camera with flash and auto-focus on the Nextel National Network for high-resolution images that can be printed or enjoyed on one of the two large, crisp screens;
* easy-to-use external keys for quick access to can’t-live-without it content, including a music player and integrated GPS;(2)
* the ability to store up to 8GB of images, videos and music with optional removable memory (sold separately);
* Motorola’s innovative ModeShift technology that allows the exterior keys to change and illuminate based on the user’s current application, such as camera operation or the media player;
* haptic feedback providing gentle vibration acknowledging the user’s touch; and
* hands-free reliability with stereo Bluetooth(R) wireless technology.(3)
