Limited Edition Motorola i860 Phone from Boost Mobile

The new retro-fashion Motorola i860 phone combines wood-grain design with the latest mobile phone technology, including a 4x digital zoom camera and video recorder, high-resolution internal and external color display with picture caller ID and MMS.

Designed to appeal to young trendsetters seeking vintage style and individuality, the phone is available now exclusively from BoostMobile.com, and will begin selling at specialty youth fashion retailers next month for a suggested retail price of $499. As with all Boost Mobile phones, the limited edition i860 handset by Motorola includes Boost Walkie-Talkie, which offers Nextel's popular Nationwide Direct Connect as a pay-as-you-go service. Boost Walkie-Talkie is $1.50 per day for unlimited national usage, and the charge applies only when the service is used.

The Motorola i860 phone also features picture caller ID; preloaded Java games such as the Boost Mobile Pro of Surf wireless game featuring some of the world's top surfers; wallpapers and polyphonic and voice ringtones, including Boost's exclusive "Anthem" track by Kanye West, Ludacris and The Game; hands-free speakerphone, and voice-activated dialing.

Boost i860 users may further customize the phone with wallpapers, ringtones and games available from Boost LIVE - Boost's ever-growing catalog of wireless entertainment content. Boost Mobile customers select the applications they want on Boost LIVE and then purchase them over the air directly from their Boost Mobile pay-as-you-go phone using existing call credits.
