Motorola i9 – black (Boost Mobile) first look
Posted on April 4, 2011In the back of our minds we knew that the Motorola Razr, at least in some form, would make it to Sprint Nextel. Though the original Razr V3 is more than five years old, and Motorola has pumped out dozens of revamps, it has made it to every other carrier. And even though Nextel tends to shy away from thin, flashy devices, we just couldn’t believe that Moto would pass up the opportunity to make an iDEN Razr. While the cell phone in question, the Motorola i9 Stature, does not carry the Razr name, it bears all the hallmarks of the venerable handset. Its thin, boxy profile takes us back to the V3, while the glossy skin, expansive external display, touch controls, and flat keypad remind us of the Razr2 V9m series. Remarkably, the i9′s feature set doesn’t improve very much upon recent Razr models, but it remains a solid midrange model for communication and multimedia. It offers push-to-talk, a 3.1-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and a music player. Call quality was decent–voices sounded a bit robotic, but we could carry on a conversation without any real problems. Besides Nextel, you also can get the i9 with Boost Mobile. The Nextel price is $199 with a contract, while contract-free Boost charges $299.

Can you use a boost sim card on the Nextel version i9 phone?

Get the Boost Mobile®? Black Berry 8330 Curve. They are both the same price, but the Black Berry blows the i9 away.
The Black Berry runs on Sprint’s CDMA network & has 10X the web speed of the i9. The Black Berry does not have the walkie talkie & the i9 does. The Blackberry? is $60 a month unlimited. I got my tax return today and am getting the Boost Mobile®? Black Berry 8330 Curve this? weekend.

Well i was talking about the phone not the service. I haven’t had a dropped call with Boost and love the unlimited plan but the phone was just bad for me. Glad you liked it but i will continue to hate on it.

It doesn’t matter how much a quality a phone can be what matters most is how much money you can save on an unlimited plan and by the way to be hones with you I have done all the texting and webing I’m satified because $50 is all i pay and I’m not doubting boost believe me their gonna get newer and better phones if people keep buying them and stop complaing about how great a phone can be because if the plan isn’t great neither is the phone.

No not really. Probably because you only make phone calls with it. But i like to text and go online but the phone isn’t very good with either. I have an iphone now and we all know it’s better than this phone.
Just so you know this phone has a crap load of bad reviews.
