Motorola, Sprint Nextel and Boost Mobile have partnered to launch Motorola Stature i9, a flip phone in the Nextel Direct Connect portfolio.
According to Sprint, Motorola Stature i9 will be available from Boost at its website by the end of February 2009, with Sprint getting the device shortly thereafter.
The Motorola Stature i9 is a multimedia handset featuring: a 15mm touch-sensitive exterior flip; a 3.1 megapixel camera with flash and auto-focus; external keys for quick access to its content, including a music player and integrated GPS; up to 8Gb of store capacity; and hands-free reliability with stereo Bluetooth wireless technology.
Rick Gadd, vice president for mobile devices at Motorola, said: With its advanced feature set and a style that requires a double take, Motorola Stature i9 represents a significant milestone in our iDEN history. In addition, offering this device to consumers in both a post-paid option with Sprint and pre-paid option with Boost Mobile shows the continued consumer demand for iDEN products and our ongoing commitment to the technology.
Danny Bowman, president of iDEN business unit at Sprint, said: Motorola Stature i9 is the latest example of our continuing commitment to our Nextel Direct connect customers giving them best in class pust-to-talk services on an incredibly atttractive device.
