The Motorola i425 may be the thinnest IDEN phone and it looks a bit interesting but it does not really impress. It looks like a smaller TV remote control version due to the simplicity of the keypad and the overall look of the phone.
It is thin at 4.9×1.9x.47 inches but is a bit heavy for its size at 3.9 ounces. the white and titanium colors are however nice choices for those who want to veer away from the traditional black cell phone.

Given all its features, the Motorola i425 is a so-so phone but at the price of $29 with a contract it is really very cheap and would be a nice start-up phone.

The 1.3 megapixel camera is a turn off though but you can always bring a solo digital camera for picture taking.
