Motorola has launched the much-spied-upon i9 iDEN handset, officially dubbed the Stature. Of course push-to-talk over the Nextel network is a given feature, but the i9 will also be packing a 3.1 megapixel camera with flash and autofocus, GPS, expandable microSD memory, haptic feedback, and ModeShift, which will which will highlight different keys on the touch-sensitive flip depending on what you’re doing. Not a bad little handset at all, and certainly stylish. You’ll be able to gain Stature by the end of February for $199.99 on a two-year contract after mail-in rebate.
