Motorola i285 launches on Boost Mobile

Jul 01 - 01:05 PM ET | Motorola

Motorola is busy launching yet another phone (the A630 and MPx220 weren't enough!)--the Motorola i285. This phone is a Boost Mobile exclusive, and features somewhat of a uniuqe feature: a vanity mirror.

You'll be able to snag the Motorola i285 for around $149.99 at retail locations like Best Buy, Sam Goody, Target and Wal-Mart.

Since we have never mentioned Boost Mobile before, here's how pricing works: A flat rate of 25 cents per minute 24 hours a day, seven days a week (long distance calling and roaming included). The i285 includes push-to-talk, which costs $1.50 a day for unlimited national use. Fee only applies when used. The Nextel network is used.

Full feature list and a picture of the mirror in action follow below:
