Motorola introduces Stature i9 for Boost Mobile

February 3, 2009/Joe Pawlikowski

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 calling plan, and have a few handsets lined up for use with it. We heard yesterday about the Motorola Stature 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)
This sounds like a big gain for Boost. I’ll be eagerly awaiting the end of the month.]]>

    I finally switched from sprint to boost, i cant belive i got raped as long as i did by sprint. I had the ic902 from sprint and the camera was very good, why does my new i9 have such a blue tinted picture with not very good pixels, for being a 3.2 mega pixel, it sure does suck compare to my ic902 with just the 2 mega pixels. or is this phone have something faulty wrong with it. let me know guys, thanks

    lol gris. jesse was must feel dumb about now. almost like bein out all day and realizing when you get home your pant sticker was on the whole time.
    the cost isn’t bad since its a no contract plan. least u don’t get that wonderful termination fee if your late.

    I just bought the i9, and it works really well. I wish i could find good headphones for it, as it only houses a micro MINI usb port. no headphone or micro headphone jack!! so if you wanna use headphones for music you gotta buy stereo blue tooth or headphones with micro mini usb, which isnt really that available at the moment. Oh and almost all bad reviews are wrong. Service on the iden network isnt that bad unless you live on like the some rural wasteland or the moon. only problem is sometimes text and data messages are sometimes delayed.Boost is claiming to have a team working on the problem and it should be fixed by the end of may 09. the internet works fine. sites like google and myspace mobile work great! if your looking for unlimmited this is the phone. Great h

    All the comments about the boost mobile i9 phone have been very helpful because I was thinking about buying the phone but wanted to do some more research on it. Thank you.
