    CNET Review

    July 20, 2006

    The Good: The Motorola i885 has a slew of features, such as a 2-megapixel camera, a video recorder, an MP3 music player, and support for Boost Mobile's nationwide push-to-talk service. Plus, audio quality on the speakerphone is outstanding.

    The Bad: The Motorola i885 is a clunky cell phone with a dull design and an unattractive user interface.

    The Bottom Line: The Motorola i885 will appeal to those who want a full-featured phone with nationwide walkie-talkie service, but those wanting a better user experience overall would do well to look elsewhere.
