Boost Mobile i425t and i425e iDEN Network Handsets Announced

Boost Mobile, a division of Sprint, unleashed the new Boost-branded Motorola i425t and i425e handsets, designed to work with Motorola's iDEN network. The two walkie-talkie phones are touted as the slimmest models ever at 0.5" thickness and weighing in at 3.88 oz.

The Motorola i425t is a candy-bar handset targeted at the style-conscious and comes in titanium gray/black slate trim. The Boost i425e comes in white with an espresso trim. As usual, you get tons of goodies right from wireless Internet access to MMS messaging. There's Java support on the phones so you should be able to play games or run productivity apps on them. For IM, there's support for AOL, Yahoo! and MSN.

Available as a Boost pay-as-you-go phone, the i425 is made of 100% recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate material. Options start from $5 pay-as-you-go service and both phones are now available online for US $39.99 each. Recharging is easy with Re-Boost cards available at Boost retailers.
