Boost Mobile’s i425t walkie-talkie phone is an ultra slim and lightweight iDEN phone that uses the Chirp feature, a patented technology which allows users to communicate faster with other BoostMobile or Nextel subscribers anytime, anywhere within the country. Being a Motorola-Boost Mobile co-branded phone, the i425t is loaded with many features that usually come with any other Motorola phones.

The i425t was designed specifically for mobile phone users who use the walkie-talkie function of their units more than the mobile phone features. Motorola integrated the nifty functionalities of a walkie-talkie phone and a mobile phone to come up with a hybrid unit that answers both needs of phone users. So, you can immediately contact friends and family with a push of the button or send them videos, pictures and SMS using the i425’s SMS and MMS send functions.

Aside from these nifty features, the i425t is also loaded with other capabilities that would somehow confuse you on what it really is. For instance, you can also use the i425t as a navigation device since it is equipped with a GPS technology. Although GPS functionality is already a standard feature of Boost Mobile phones, it still is something worth noting since it is not everyday that we know of a mobile phone, a walkie-talkie and a navigation device rolled into one hardware.

Other features of the i425t includes, wireless capability for internet browsing, compatibility with Java games and applications, mobile instant messaging capability through AOL, Yahoo and MSN, variety of ringtones and SMS alert that you can download and used, and hands-free speakerphone compatibility. With all those features packed into every i425t unit, would you ask for more?

Ok well, given that you can use the i425t for a variety of reasons, it is still a walkie-talkie phone after all right? Indeed, but unlike any other walkie-talkie phones, this phone looks and feels like your top of the line cellular phone. Weighing a mere 3.9oz, the i425t can match up with other slim Motorola phones and even some of the Sony Ericsson music phones . Did I say that the i425t is a walkie-talkie phone?
