Boost Mobile’s Motorola Debut i856
By Boost Mobile<\/a><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Debut i856, the brainchild of
\nBoost Mobile and Motorola, is a push to talk slider phone with the functions of
\na walkie-talkie, but the capabilities of a high-end cell phone. The Debut i856
\nis designed with the multimedia person in mind, equipped with a 1.3 megapixel
\ncamera with video capture mode, music button hot key, and Bluetooth
\ncapabilities. It truly is a cell phone with the features of many, all rapped up
\ninto one. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Honestly, slider phones have
\nnever been a person favorite of mine, the majority of which have small, hard to
\nuse keypads that lack the functionality of full keyboards. The introduction of
\ncell phones equipped with full keyboards were revolutionary at one time and are
\nstill seen as essential for any avid \u201ctexter\u201d, there is simply no alternative.
\nHowever, the key pad is complimented well with the 2.2\u201d TFT, 176 x 220,
\ndisplay. The screen is a perfect size for the phone; nothing is worse than a
\ncell phone that doesn\u2019t take advantage of its size. On the other hand, the
\ndisplay does lack the resolution that is expected of by most cell phones. In
\naddition, the button arrangement under the screen consists of a standard set up
\nwith a direct music player and menu key. The buttons were a little stubborn but
\nnothing a user could not get used to. Furthermore, the 3.5 millimeter headset
\njack I found to be a great feature, allowing you to use your own standard pair,
\nrather than spending additional money on a 2.5 millimeter set. The overall
\nlayout of the phone I found to be standard but in comparison to similar Push to
\nTalk phones, is much slimmer and compact. Some Push to Talk phones feel as if
\nthere is a weight in your pocket, but the i856 fits comfortably. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The multimedia features of the Debut I
\nfound to be superb. In addition to standard tools such as wireless web
\nbrowsing, GPS, Text-to-Speech, and Bluetooth, the Push to Talk feature was like
\nicing on the cake. Push to Talk converts your phone into a 2 way walkie-talkie,
\nmaking communication with friends, family, and business partners that much
\neasier. Furthermore, the i856 has up to 70MB of internal phone memory with an
\noptional 8GB of external memory. The microSD slot can be accessed under the
\nbattery component. The phone does have a battery life similar to other phones
\nof approximately 3.4 hours talk time and 3.95 standby. Overall, I found the
\nDebut i856 to be a great multimedia phone with only a few simple quirks, but at
\na price of 150 dollars is unbeatable compared to similar phones on the market. <\/p>\n
