Boost could also get Kyocera Zio Android device

We just learned the other day that Boost Mobile would get the Motorola i1 Android device. Now comes a rumor, courtesy of Android Guys, that Boost could also get the Kyocera Rio. It’s already headed for parent company Sprint and also Cricket. The Android Guys call it “unremarkable,” but it still might fit the bill for Boost. It features a 480×800 pixel touchscreen, a 600 MHz processor, 512MB internal storage, and a 3.2 megapixel camera. We’re not sure when this will hit Boost, but it should cost between $170 and $220 unsubsidized. ]]>

    Between $170 and $220?! Wow. Although I’d have to say I will believe it when I see it. How much you wanna bet they will jack up the price and it will be the most expensive phone when it comes to Boost.

    I hope it will be on Boost’s CDMA series and not the iDEN like the Motorola android they just started ot offer.

    “but it should cost between $170 and $220 unsubsidized”
    But the i1 is $350 @ Bestbuy, I saw them on 07.03.10 This seems like a much better Android then the i1. Plus it is on the CDMA network so I would think it would be more then or about the same price as the i1. The i1 is not bad, with or without WiFi I could never go back to the iDEN network after buying my Blackberry from Boost. Sprint’s CDMA is much better the their iDEN network.
    If Boost gets the Kyocera Rio & it is on the CDMA side I would think about getting it.
    Never will be on the iDEN network again.
    Android or not.

    Well? Whats going on with this? Is Boost getting it or not? Need to get Sprint’s 4G network for Boost. Come on Boost, get us some Androids (CDMA not iDEN) and somemore Blackberries.
    Lets start to look @ 4G phones for Boost
