Motorola’s i465 is supposedly a messaging phone, and I suppose it is designed for the IM generation. At first I thought the keyboard was too small for this, but I actually got used to it very quickly.

I was also surprised that the camera is taking quality stills, but I’m having a hard time finding the supposed Media Center where I can do video capture. All in all, I suppose you could call it a poor-man’s BlackBerry once you have Web access.

The i465 is available from Boost for about $99.99.

Back in May, Boost Mobile let us know that they would be picking up the QWERTY touting Motorola i465 Clutch. It’s nothing special but for those looking for a perfect prepaid texting handset, the i465 isn’t a bad choice.

Well today, more than 2 months after said phone dropped, Boost has announced that the i465 will begin shipping next Tuesday with a new black paintjob (or Graphite if you want to be official about it).

In terms of pricing, you’re looking at $129.99 for the Motorola i465 Clutch, but it’s without a contract, so it makes sense.

The Motorola Clutch i465, the first iDEN cellphone to feature a QWERTY keypad, is now available from Boost Mobile.  The official announcement in early May pointed to a release some time in June, but we are not complaining that it was released a few days earlier.  $129.99 will get you the Clutch and its 1.8-inch screen, VGA camera, GPS, and an easy way to start texting/emailing.  Not much to go on there but a decent handset nonetheless for its price.  Go on and get it from Boost Mobile if you like it.

It looks like someone close to Motorola went ahead and leaked the press photo of that Motorola i467 iDEN phone. There’s no official release date yet but judging from the clarity of this picture, we should expect a release date soon. The phone will feature a full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, a VGA camera, Push to Talk capabilities and a web browser with a dedicated key. We have no prices for now but we’re going to look for this iDEN phone in Sprint Nextel phones.
