There once was a time where the only push to talk phone available from Sprint Nextel was bulky and ugly, and boy have times changed with the new Motorola Stature i9. A elegant Push to Talk phone good enough for the construction workers working hard at construction sites to CEO’s in their big comfy office.

When I first unboxed the Stature i9, I was pretty impressed by the look and feel of the phone, it feels heavy duty but it had a nice soft feel to the key pad.
After I was done playing with the phone I put it to the test, I made a few phone calls, used the walkie talkie feature and just ran it through its paces.

First the sound quality is amazing, who ever I spoke to came in loud and clear and they heard me clearly as well, but that has always been a trait of Motorola phones good sound quality so I wasn’t surprised by that.

I was more surprised by the Sound quality of the Walkie Talkie Feature. On other Push To Talk phones I sometimes have a hard time understanding the person I am talking to and I have even noticed other people using PTT and asking the person they are speaking to, too repeat themselves. That’s common and a lot of people who use PTT are use to it.

But say good bye to that problem with the Stature i9 because it isn’t a problem. The PTT calls come in as clear as day and you have no issues understanding anyone.
Overall the phones are great and if you are in the need of a push to talk phone or want to upgrade your current push to talk phone then the Stature is a great phone to consider.
The Stature is available from sprint now and with a 2 year contract you can get it for $199 after a $50 Mail in Rebate.
