Following the pattern of other cell phones, there were many rumors about i9, the Motorola clamshell phone that was very often talked about, even if the lack of information should have stopped everyone from making all sorts of wild suppositions. Nevertheless, we’ve reached the day when the handset has been given the official treatment and its full name will be from now on Motorola Stature i9.



The cell phone is said to be the thinnest iDEZN flip phone that was ever built (15 millimeters) and comes equipped with an impressive number of advanced features, such as: a 2.2 inch TFT internal display with a resolution of 240x320 pixels, a 2.0 inch TFT external display with a resolution of 240x320 pixels, a 3.1 camera that comes with autofocus and flash, an integrated GPS, the Openware 7.2 browser, Bluetooth 2.0 Connectivity, Next Mail, external illuminated keys that feature the ModeShift technology, a music player and a microSD card slot, for expandable memory of up to 8 GB.



The clamshell cell phone is expected to become available via Boost Mobile in no more than a couple of weeks (sometime by the end of this month) and then (a little bit later) via Sprint.

"Motorola Stature i9 is the latest example of our continuing commitment to our Nextel Direct Connect customers giving them best-in-class push-to-talk services on an incredibly attractive device," said Danny Bowman, the president of Sprint's iDEN business unit. In addition, he said that "Sprint has invested billions of dollars in the iDEN network, adding thousands of cell sites to bolster capacity and coverage. As a result, the network is performing at best-ever levels enabling customers using Stature or any of our iDEN devices to experience the speed of the fastest national push-to-talk network".

If you’re interested in the Stature i9 flip phone, then you should know that it was said to be sold for $299 by Boost Mobile (free of contract), while the other carrier, Sprint, announced a price of $199.99 with a two-year contract.
