Motorola Stature i9 Turns Red at Boost Mobile

Boost Mobile announced today that they are offering the Motorola Stature i9 in a new color - red. The i9, which is the thinnest flip phone available on the iDEN network, was first introduced in February 2009, but was only available in black. The company says that they have added this new color to keep up with demand for the phone.

While, yes, this is a slick looking phone featuring Nationwide Boost Walkie-Talkie, a 3.1 Megapixel Camera with 8x Zoom and Flash, Video Camera, and a Music Player, it comes in at the hefty price of $299.99. I suppose the price of the phone can be justified considering the Boost Mobile service has no contract, credit check, or "hidden" fees.

Boost Mobile also offers a Monthly Unlimited plan with unlimited anytime calling, text messaging, wireless Web and walkie-talkie services with a national calling area for $50 a month.
