Motorola i9 "Stature" gets real on Boost Mobile

We caught sight of the iDEN Motorola i9 Stature a week or so ago, but it was sitting comfortably in limbo until today. The Motorola i9 Stature will be arriving for your walking / talking pleasure at Boost Mobile by the end of February and sliding into Sprint shops shortly after that. Touted as the thinnest phone in the Direct Connect line (a tiny 15mm) it comes equipped with a 3.1 megapixel camera with flash and auto-focus, GPS, up to 8GB of memory, haptics, and Bluetooth. Pricing on Boost will be $299 and $199 on Sprint if a two-year carrier commitment is more your thing.

I love how the phones show "Ready," which for any of you Nextel (or former) people know, that means the service isn't activated!! lol

That's as bad as the LG banners Sprint would display in their stores a few years back that showed no bars of service. Hey, at least it wasn't false advertising!!

get over yourself.

It's good to see Sprint getting a cool phone for the iDEN network; probably the best I have seen. It's also a step in the right direction for Moto. I would like to see one of these with a rubberized surface like the HTC touch.

looks like a vu30 (keypad), w755 (external controls) and a v750 with the big external display.

but its still coll that nextel is finally getting a svelte phone.
