- Reviewed on: 02/24/2005
The first thing that will strike you about the Motorola i860 Tattoo is the design on the outer cover. The phone's graphics, which resemble a primitive tattoo, surround the internal and external displays as well as the lens and flash, and they nicely complement the gunmetal housing. In addition to the i860 Tattoo, Boost Mobile also offers a limited version called the i860 Woody, which is designed to look like the wood-paneled station wagons that are a staple of surf culture.
Beyond the physical variations, the i860 also comes preloaded with content that Boost Mobile believes will appeal to the younger crowd. You get three preloaded Java (J2ME) games: Boost Mobile Pro of Surf, Driver 3 Demo, and Fox Sports Yao Ming Basketball Demo; and MP3 ring tones created by Kanye West, Ludacris, and The Game. Of course, additional digital content such as wallpaper and polyphonic and MP3 ring tones can be downloaded via the mobile's Web browser from Boost Live.
