Motorola i856 Debut

I’m not sure what’s all the fuss with the Motorola Debut. It’s superbly mediocre device, which honestly doesn’t deserve a special press release. Still, we keep covering it and I’m one of the guys to blame for that. ;)

On the other hand, I’m guessing since it’s a decent looking iDEN phone, it does need some attention, considering just how ugly iDEN phones can be.

Anyway, the Debut i856w is now available on Sprint-owned Boost Mobile, which is offering the device in “stylish ivory coloring and flattering front and back.” Apparently, it’s designed for “fashion savvy consumers” and if that’s the case, I’m super proud to say I’m not one of them.

Specs wise, the Moto Debut comes with a 1.3-megapixel camera, media player, Bluetooth, push-to-talk functionality, GPS, and a microSD memory card slot. The price is $149.99…
