14 DAY TRIAL // Regional carrier SouthernLINC has just announced the availability of Motorola i475 Clutch and Motorola i420 handsets for as low as $19.99 with a new two-year agreement.
Besides iDEN and PTT capabilities, both phones feature integrated FM radio with automatic and manual station preset capabilities and the option to listen either via speaker or headphones.
Motorola i475 Clutch is the sequel of the original Motorola Clutch, and features a candy-bar style form factor.
The handset comes with a portrait QWERTY keypad with larger keys than similar phone models and has been especially designed for text-heavy customers.
“The Motorola i475 and i420 are the first handsets available from SouthernLINC Wireless to incorporate an FM radio,” said Rodney Johnson, vice president of sales and distribution for SouthernLINC Wireless.
The multi-functional Motorola i420 targets users who want basic phones for text and picture messaging as well as cellular and PTT calls.
The phone features a flip form factor and comes with a 1.8-inch internal display, external caller ID display, and a rear-facing speakerphone.
“Now, SouthernLINC Wireless customers can listen to their favorite music, sports or news stations in private using earbuds, or they can turn on the speaker to enjoy the radio with others,” added Johnson.
In addition, both the i420 and i475 are packed with features, including voice-activated dialing, Bluetooth connectivity, an integrated VGA camera with digital zoom, GPS, Java and LINCaround off-network, PTT two-way radio capabilities.
LINCaround allows users to manually transfer their phones to an off-network, two-way radio communication mode.
On related news, both phones have recently made their debut at Boost Mobile, but they seem to be more expensive, as the carrier does not offer them on contracts.
Motorola i420 and Motorola i475 are now available at all SouthernLINC Wireless sales and service locations, through authorized SouthernLINC Wireless dealers, from SouthernLINC Wireless direct sales associates and online.
