Let’s be honest — there was never any real doubt that Boost was plan to share the Motorola i1 with parent Sprint, especially after Best Buy went ahead and threw it up early.

That includes a brief look at the phone’s sliding keypad (it’s red), a quick once over of LG’s various widgets, confirmation of a 5-megapixel camera, and a look a somewhat unique feature called Text Scan, which promises to let you capture clear images of notes or memos (though it doesn’t seem to provide actual character recognition).
