Boost Mobile Introduces Motorola i875 Phone with Multimedia Player; Boost's Flagship Handset Enables Customers to Play MP3 Songs, Watch MPEG Videos and View JPEG Pictures.

IRVINE, Calif. -- Boost Mobile(R) today introduced the new flagship phone to its line up of youth-oriented handsets. Offered exclusively from Boost Mobile, the Motorola i875 features a multimedia center that enables Boost customers to play MP3 songs, watch MPEG videos and display JPEG pictures. The Motorola i875's media player is supported by internal as well as external memory so Boost customers can store multimedia on the phone, or use the removable flash memory card for additional storage space.

The sleek champagne-colored phone features external player keys (i.e., play, pause, skip forward, etc.), and comes with stereo headphones, enabling Boost customers to easily play and enjoy multimedia anytime, anywhere. MP3 songs, MPEG videos and JPEG pictures are quickly and effortlessly transferred from a PC to the phone's 32MB removable memory card via a USB card reader and connection cable, included with purchase. Also included is software that enables Boost customers to convert audio tracks to MP3 files.

Customers may increase the number of songs, videos and pictures stored on the phone by purchasing 128MB, 256MB or 512MB memory cards available at most electronics retailers. A 256MB memory card is available from Boost for $52.99.

Additional features include a 4x digital zoom megapixel camera and video recorder, large high-resolution color screen, Boost(TM) Multi-Media Messaging, Text Messaging, and Wireless Web, polyphonic, voice and music ringtones, hands-free speakerphone, voice recorder and GPS functionality. Also included are preloaded Java(R)-enabled games such as Tony Hawk's Underground 2 and Racing Fever 2 demos. Additional Java(R)-enabled games and applications can be downloaded directly from the Motorola i875 phone or from Boost LIVE, a virtual video game arcade available on the Boost Mobile Web site (www.BoostLIVE.com).

"Clearly marked play and pause buttons on the outside of the phone, and the ability to quickly and easily transfer multimedia from your PC to the handset make the Motorola i875 an appealing phone-media player combination," said Roberto Loria, director of retail packaged products, Boost Mobile. "Plus, the Motorola i875 can store and play MP3 songs and MPEG videos, and enables users to choose different amounts of memory."

The Motorola i875 from Boost Mobile is available now at www.boostmobile.com; popular national retailers and convenience stores, such as Best Buy for a suggested retail price of $399.99.

As with all phones available from Boost Mobile, the Motorola i875 includes Boost Walkie-Talkie, which offers instant nationwide communication at the touch of a button. By pressing the walkie-talkie button on the side of the phone, users can connect with other users on Nextel's National Network, in less than one second.
