We don’t know if we can find the love in us for a device like the ROKR now that Motorola has moved to greener pastures with the Shules and Morrison, but the iDEN-equipped version of the musicphone that you see above might just be what some iDEN customer is looking for.  There isn’t much to go on this device right now except for the picture above and the rumor of a likely pairing with Sprint and/or Boost in the near future, which is obvious given that Sprint and Boost are the two major iDEN networks in the US, but we will keep you in the loop if anything else pops up, so stay tuned.

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.

Back in February we got our hands on some leaked promotional shots of the Motorola i465. Well, both Motorola and Nextel have come forth and confirmed the phone’s existence and stating it will be on the Nextel iDEN network sometime soon.

If you don’t know what iDEN is, it’s Nextel’s Push-to-Talk walkie-talkie like service that sets the company apart from the rest.

The i465’s QWERTY keyboard coupled with the Push-to-Talk features might spurr some interest. But with Motorola on a steady decline, will anything be enough to regain the companies once legendary image?

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.

A new Motorola cellphone has been spotted at FCC, it is codenamed i9 and has the unique characteristic of being a iDEN handset. What is iDEN? Integrated Digital Enhanced Network, which basically provides more individual frequencies to the phone.

In case you haven’t noticed, the i9 is pretty similar to other Motorola devices, in this case the RAZR. It has Linux-Java as the operative system, and includes a 3-megapixel camera with auto-focus, a slot for microSD memory cards, and stereo Bluetooth for high-quality sound.

Extra features on Motorola i9: a navigation system also known as GPS, and a working mode similar to the iPhone:

The i9 comes with morphing icon keys on the front of the flip that will change depending on whether you are holding your phone in portrait or landscape mode.

A guy shooting his gun at this Motorola i335 wasn’t portrayed in this video. Other than that, this slick Motorola phone seems to take everything on. And they say it will surely survive any kind of mistreatment. If you need a phone that can take a punch (wonder what your day job is) then maybe you should buy one of these, later this year when the i335 is supposed to hit the market.

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.
