Boost Mobile and Quiksilver Continue Brand Alliance with Second Roxy-Branded Wireless Phone
IRVINE, Calif. & HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. -- New Limited Edition, Co-Branded Phone Fuses Roxy Fashion and Boost(TM) Customized Wireless Services Designed for Female Trendsetters
Boost Mobile(TM) and Quiksilver Inc. (NYSE:ZQK) have announced an extension of their existing brand alliance with today's launch of the limited edition Roxy Motorola i830 phone from Boost Mobile (known by adoring fans as the "Roxy"). Offered exclusively from Boost Mobile, the new phone is designed to meet the lifestyle needs of today's young women by featuring Roxy design details targeting females with an active and fashionable lifestyle.
The Roxy label, owned by Quiksilver, is the world leader in casual lifestyle apparel and accessories for young women. The Roxy brand represents freedom, fun and individual expression, which are reflected in the design of the Roxy phone, manufactured by Motorola. The Roxy phone also includes custom wireless services, including ringtones specifically selected by the Roxy design and marketing team with the "Roxy girl" in mind, such as "Hey Ya!," "I Miss You," "Beautiful," "Charlie's Angels," "If I Can't," and "Buffalo Soldier." The fashionable Roxy phone includes preloaded games such as Diva Dee Dancing, Element Surfing, Etch A Sketch, and Snow Shredder.
"Fans of our wildly popular first generation Roxy phone consider it as much a fashion statement as a wireless communications device," said Neil Lindsay, senior director of product management for Boost Mobile. "We took what girls liked about the first Roxy phone and made it sleeker, smaller, and more stylish with enhanced entertainment features. Fusing Roxy design elements with customizable wallpaper, ringtones and beach-themed display, the new Roxy phone is the ultimate accessory aimed at young women who want the latest and greatest in fashion and function."
"After the great feedback and overwhelming demand from the first Roxy phone, we are thrilled to continue making brand history with Boost Mobile and Motorola. The handset reflects what a 'Roxy' girl demands in a phone, making it easy to deliver a consumer experience that makes sense for consumers," said Matt Jacobson, vice president of Quiksilver Entertainment.
