IRVINE, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) September 28, 2007 --
Boost Mobile®, a lifestyle-based
telecommunications brand and wholly-owned division of Sprint Nextel
(NYSE:S) has added the Motorola W385 to its Unlimited by Boost®

GPS, 4x Digital Zoom VGA Camera, Text and Multi-Media Messaging,
Wireless Web, access to AOL®, Yahoo!®
and MSN® Instant Messaging, Hands-free
Speakerphone with Voice-Activated Dialing and Voice Recorder, and
Customizable Photo Caller ID.
The Motorola W385 also includes demo versions of entertainment
applications, such as Boost® Hookt, one the
world’s largest mobile community chat rooms
and Boost® loopt, a popular location-based
social mapping service that enables mobile phone users to share their
location, status messages, photos and other on-the-go experiences with
friends. A monthly subscription charge is required with the full version
of these applications.
“The W385 is among the most feature-rich
phones available from any regional flat-rate prepaid wireless service,”
said Neil Lindsay, vice president of product management, Boost Mobile. “And
the handset comes preloaded with some of today’s
hottest mobile social networking applications, and connects customers to
Boost Mobile’s extensive selection of Real
Music Ringtones, Exclusive Wallpapers and Java®-enabled
Games and Applications.”
The Boost-branded phone doubles as a youth fashion accessory, including
a two-toned color combination of Café Brown
and Black Slate, Bright Color TFT Internal Screen, and
vertically-oriented External Black-out Screen –
all packaged in a sleek, fashionable soft-touch design.
Boost Mobile is offering the first month of unlimited voice service from
