The Boost's Mobile "Boosted Speciality Retail Collaboration" is an unprecedented project where Boost Mobile teams up with legendary street wear brand collective, Retail Mafia, to create custom designed versions of the
Motorola i835 phone - in gloss black color.
The
phone
will come in a uniquely custom packaging, complete with specially designed phone accessories and collateral items. Each of the six members of the collective (J. Money, Frank151, alife, aNYthing, Situationormal and SSUR) comes in its own stainless steel briefcase complete with thumb board, desk/travel chargers, headset, cleaning cloth and
t-shirt.
Some of the noteworthy features of the
Motorola i835 are: large (130x130) internal color display, external caller ID, speakerphone functionality, voice-activated dialing, support for
Java games and applications, 600-entry phonebook. The
GPS capabilities can be used with applications such as TeleNav to get real-time driving directions - both visual and audible.
The clamshell phone is sure to make heads turn; it's available at Boost Mobile's website at the retail price of USD $174.99.
