Motorola has just announced two new handsets for Boost Mobile: the Motorola Rambler and the Motorola Bali. Both are clamshell handsets, but the Rambler has a QWERTY keyboard while the Bali just has the standard number keypad.

As you might imagine, Moto built the Rambler with messaging in mind. It comes with the usual messaging features like SMS, MMS, e-mail, and instant messaging. The Rambler's other features include a 1.3-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, and GPS. It'll be available for $99.99 starting August 11.

Also available on August 11 is the Bali, which is more expensive at $149.99. It has many of the same features as the Rambler--a 1.3-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, and GPS--but it also has an MP3 player, a microSD card slot, and external touch controls.
