  • Boost's Motorola i776 leaked, Target style

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Boost Mobile The FCC got first dibs , but now it's Target's turn to show off Motorola's latest iDEN debacle. Don't get us wrong, it's not that bad looking now that we get a better glance -- but still, that hulking external antenna sets off a gag reflex for us that's hard to suppress. Anyhoo, Target's product page reveals that it'll be a prepaid device for Sprint's Boost division, offering 600-contact capacity, 3.5-hour talk time, GPS, and oh yeah, did we mention a giant stub protruding from the top? It's claimed here that the i776 can be found in stores, but without an official announcement from Boost, it might be a little tricky to come across just yet.

  • Boost Mobile's rugged Motorola i335 is seriously tough

    Most people reading this will probably put a priority, and even pay a premium, for high-end features and incredible design. But, there will invariably always be a niche for handsets that can take a licking and still keep on ticking, as it were. For those people that put an emphasis on tough, rugged handsets, check out [...]

  • Boost boosts the Motorola KRZR

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Boost Mobile , EV-DO , CDMA Boost Mobile has launched Motorola's KRZR K1m this week, and while its freshness leaves something to be desired, the glossy black flip is instantly propelled to the very top rung of Boost's non-iDEN food chain above the w385 and c290 , both of which also hail from Moto. The scrappy, youth-oriented Sprint division is using the K1m's launch to highlight Unlimited by Boost, its regional calling plan that is currently available in 13 states -- including the lovely islands of Hawaii . The Boost-ified MOTOKRZR is available now for $249.99, so get in on the circa-2006 action while the getting's good; heck, if you're really clever about it, you might even be able to use it as an excuse to move to Oahu.

  • Motorola CFO confirms positive Q4, boosts shares

    Now that’s a good stock market. Responding to Motorola Chief Financial Officer Meredith’s announcement that Moto will be on-track for a positive Q4 2007, the company’s shares saw a bit of a boost on the stock market. With the ouster of CEO Zander and the recent departure of CTO Warrior, we’re sure CFO Meredith (tired of the three-letter acronyms yet?) is still happy to have a job. Moto shares saw a 2.4% rise to $16.12 in afternoon trading. It seems traders and investors are liking what they heard and are starting to put their trust into the once-giant mobile phone manufacturer. The market can be a cold mistress in times of distress, but as soon as things get nice and rosy you can be sure that mistress will pamper you with financial blessings. Good for you Moto! We’ve supported you for long enough. It’s time to go out there and try to get your game back.

  • Boost Mobile slims down with stylish Motorola i425t iDEN phone

    Boost Mobile has gone official with their new, slim, and stylish candybar - the Motorola i425t handset for the Boost Mobile iDEN network. The sleek iDEN phone gives up some mainstream features in exchange for that cool design and the legendary PTT functionality. But did Motorola really have to do away with the camera and Bluetooth - we could have done without the camera, but we really like our Bluetooth connectivity. Still, you get integrated GPS and instant messaging packaged into one of the best iDEN phones we’ve seen to date. Oh, and that titanium gray/black slate color combo just oozes sexiness. Pick up your own Motorola i425t for the Boost Mobile network next month - for $59.99 (which includes a $5 call credit).

  • Boost Mobile gets official with i425t, thinnest iDEN phone ever

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Boost Mobile Amidst all the hubbub surrounding Motorola's latest batch of... dare we say, almost attractive iDEN candybars, Boost has gone ahead and made its variant, the i425t , official. As is often the case with iDEN equipment, features lag a bit in exchange for PTT supremacy; here, we get a speakerphone, voice-activated dialing, GPS, integrated instant messaging, vibrating alert, and support for up to 600 contacts. That's right -- no camera or Bluetooth, though you will get your phone in a new eco-friendly "clamshell" packaging design that features end caps made of 35 percent post-consumer waste. Pick it up next month in two-tone titanium gray / black slate for $59.99 including $5 worth of call credit. Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Boost to offer unlimited plan?

    Filed under: Boost Mobile Word on the street has it that Boost is poised to test-market an unlimited plan, though it's unknown at this point whether said plan would be voice only or would throw in all-you-can-eat data as well (a smart move, we reckon). If true, this lines up nicely with a previous rumor that Boost would start offering postpaid plans in the same vein as stablemate Nextel, but here's where it gets really juicy: the phone allegedly to be offered with the unlimited plan isn't an iDEN piece. We don't mean iDEN / CDMA hybrid, either -- it's a straight-up CDMA phone, the yawn-riffic Motorola C290 . If that doesn't turn you off, and you live in Dallas, San Antonio, or Houston, look for the plan to hit shortly for $45 a month; meanwhile, folks in the Bay area can expect to shell out $50, and Southern California bears the brunt of it at $55.
