Boost Mobile launches Motorola Clutch i465
Ok, so it’s probably not the most exciting phone you’ll see here on BGR today but Boost Mobile users may be happy to learn they finally have a QWERTY option. The uniquely styled Motorola i465 Clutch is now available to the masses and the price point is more than fair — $129.99 out the door. As far as specs go; Push to Talk / Walkie Talkie, threaded SMS and MMS, POP3 email support, Bluetooth and a VGA camera are the highlights. Oh, and did we mention the QWERTY keypad? It’s easy to dismiss this little ugly duckling of a handset but if you’re a Boost customer who has been waiting for a real messaging option, the Clutch is going to be… Umm… Pretty clutch.

the issue isn’t the phone, but the service. there are times when i thought i sent important text messages & when i didn’t get a reply i would go to resend it only to find the phone never actually sent it. it would be sitting in the outbox. my brothers surprise birthday party didn’t go over like it should have because when we were around the corner heading to the party i texted my family & let them know we were around the corner & pulling up & to have everybody ready. when no one was ready, i was confused but i didn’t see the message in the outbox until something like an hour later. & i’m like “thats why no one knew we were pulling up”. service is too shitty. i am not sure whether or not you would have a better experience with a more expensive phone from boost. but, i would have gladly paid an extra $75 for a better phone. BEWARE!!!!!!!! i’m not even with boost mobile anymore.
Are there any other ways to lock your phone? Unfortunately i only see 2 ways lock and key pad lock and unfortunately, my calls or msg will not come through when my phone is locked. I’m looking for more security in this phone similiar to the motorola slvr(best phone ever made) Thanks
Does anyone know how to get rid of the annoying beep every time you press a button? It is driving me nuts.
I have searched the user guide and Internet but did not find a solution.
Thanks
u go to settings then VOLUME
To view pictures sent to u. u have to go to tht message press menu then play slideshow and the pic will come up and then press menu again and then go to save picture or mayb it says save object
I purchased a used boost i465 and the sim card is missing. What is on the sim card? Can I use any sim card or does it have boost’s software on it?

if you push menu then * you will lock your phone and the calls and messages will still come thru.
how to put a voice record as a ringtone
How does one access the POP3 email client? I haven’t been able to find it.
i got this phone about a month ago. the only huge problem i have is that i cant set any of my voice recordings as a ringtone. Any help???
How do you delete a message in the outbox that was never sent but seemingly can’t be deleted using the usual options from the menu? I thought it was locked but there are no options to unlock it when I select the message. Boost customer support has been no help – their support is terrible.
to delete a message in the outbox that was never sent and does not have the option to delete. all u have to do is turn off your cell then wait 5 seconds before you turn it back on.
for all the user having outbox problems on the i465 try this use with caution
menu- settings- advance connectivity-master reset-000000 yes to everything it will reset phone deleting messages and recent calls. after doing this all messages are deleted now i am on the phone with tech support because my internet does not work i will give an update asap.
they had me on hold too long so do this menu- settings- advance connectivity-network id click ok do not change anything hit ok again and back turn off phone wait 30 sec turn back on you should have internet and texting. boost was having internet problems but my texting worked when i checked the first time so i waited for 20 min and internet was fine also. I hope this helps.
Alarm clock was pre-installed on my i465. Its listed under Java Apps as Alarm Clock Plus.
I purchased this phone used and the security code was reset from the default. I researched it online and found that I should take into a boost/sprint store. I took it in and they couldn’t reset it. I called motorola and they want me to send it in for repair?!?!?!
What should I do? I don’t have a warranty since I bought it used.
i have a clutch i bought it new from radio shack in july. it has worked great and now within the last 3 days i cant make any calls, the calls i can make or take drop or go in and out but it says i have a strong signal. the msgs are not going right through and it keeps turning off. ive taken out the chip, did a master reset ans ive updated my boost mobile online. nothings working but i can use my walkie just fine. any suggestions or comments would help. ive even looked on the back of the phone and its not wet. HELP!!!!!!
Yea all you have to do is turn the volume off on it
ok, so I read all of the posts and there are a few other people that have the same question as I do and IT REMAINS TO BE ANSWERED. How do you set a voice recording as a ringtone? I figured out how to set a pic I took w/ the camera as my wallpaper, but not a voice recording as a ringtone…not sure why. PLEASE HELP!!!!
Boost, sprint, nextell all want you to buy ringtones from them. they block that feature. they block the mini usb cord ports so you cant add files, they block free app and ringtone sites, all to get you to buy from them. I’m looking into sending files via bluetooth that was made with ring tone maker. when I know it works I’ll send details.
can you tell me thd name of the java app that allows you to put mp3 tones directky in the app?ddo i get it from the booststuff website? or where? thanx
in order to save a voice reord,,,when ur done recording and it says voice stored,you have to hit the back button and save..dummie
I don’t think you can use voice recordings as ring tones on this phone. If we could that would br great. But then how would the ringtone business survive.:)
How do you upload vids and pix from phone to PC. I can’t send any videos that are more than 10 sec in length.
For the persons asking how to fix the fact their friends can’t get multimedia text messages I had the same problem.Then I called in and got connected to a rep and they simply reset my service from their side and my problem was fixed.
i have has the clutch for a few months now. In the beginning it was great especially with the plan, but now i cant take it anymore. Even if you do the master reset, texts will still wind up being delayed in a few days. im a quick texter and the phone cant keep up.a lot of the time i will send a message and it will say its still sending, but it will only send if i turn my phone on and off again. the resolution is poor on the camera. the signal changes constantly even if you stand in one spot. I do like that the messages are in a threading system though. and also i like how loud the ringtones are. Overall i dont think i would recommend this for anyone. Im actually taking mine back tomorrow and going back to at&t in the mean time.
I hope this helps, if you are using it for calls its not a bad decision but if you are used to smartphones, stick with them
