Reviews of the Motorola Debut i856 (Boost Mobile)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Motorola Debut has a slim slider design, plus it comes with push-to-talk, GPS, a 1.3-megapixel camera, and a good music player. It also has very good call quality.
The Bad: The Motorola Debut suffers from poor keypad design and a low-resolution display.
The Bottom Line: If you can live with a few design quirks, the Motorola Debut is a decent, basic, multimedia phone for Boost Mobile.
Manufacturer: Motorola
