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.
