Motorola i856 Debut now available on Nextel

Perhaps recognizing that the average Boost customer is more interested in the latest, greatest trendy handsets than the average Nextel customer (read: construction worker with a penchant for putting mil-spec certifications to the test), Sprint has launched a couple recent groundbreaking models -- the Clutch, Moto's first QWERTY iDEN device and the Debut, its first slider -- on Boost first before bringing them over to the big daddy. Don't fret, though, Nextel subscribers, because the i856 Debut is now available to you, bringing that crazy red / black color combo, integrated music player, and network-first slider form factor to a more grown-up audience. It's available now in all sales channels for $99.99 with a $50 rebate on contract.

Why does Motorola insist on making such piece of crap feature phones? This phone could have been released 5 years ago and nobody would have thought it was impressive.

i dont wonder why they keep firing people out coz they dont understand what the people wants this days, a bigger screen handset long battery life, wifi, bluetooth, market place for more goodies and the list keeps going, stupid moto.

I guess the market target for this monstruosity is blind, dumb-deaf people who had both hands amputated

It's for people on the BOOST network who have no choice in any other phones, and no money to spend on them.


You want to see something good, just wait a few more weeks for the Killer Moto Phone on Verizon.
