Motorola i9 Phone is a nice step forward for iDEN phones, as the walkie-talkie lineup is always bigger and bulkier. With the Motorola i9 you get two large QVGA screens, one 2.2-inch screen inside and one 2-inch screen on the external flip. Both of these looked great. I found the menus fresh and different and the screens did a nice job displaying text and pictures that were colorful and sharp.
The external display is ringed by a series of touchable buttons. These fade in and out as you switch modes, so when you're in the camera mode, all you see are the camera controls for zoom, camcorder mode, etc. In music mode, you get music controls instead.
IÂ enjoyed being able to activate the camera, browse pictures or play music without opening the phone.
Not bad Motorola... not bad at all.
