This 86 gram bar phone also features a hands-free speakerphone with voice-activated dialing, GPS support for “Boost Navigator,” vibrator alerts, a 600-entry address book, flight mode, a calendar, voice memos, and digital TTY/TDD service. English, French, and Spanish are supported. The small, color STN-LCD display has a resolution of 130 x 130 pixels and supports 65,536 colors. There is a built-in mini-USB connector and a 2.5mm headset jack. The i425e’s 3.7V Li-ion battery is claimed to deliver 2.8 hours of talk-time and 120 hours of standby operation.
