I heard boost is looking at $400 retail price. However, I’m sure small retailers will be cutting deals for a cheaper price. Can’t wait for it!!!!

[...] early March we heard a rumor that Boost Mobile might get the Motorola i1, an Android handset that runs on the iDEN network. Later in the month Sprint announced that it [...]

Verizon phones can’t be put on Sprint or Boost cdma whether flashed or not. Their esn control system won’t allow it.

the i1 will do wonders for Boost iden. I think they should have merged Virgin Mobile and Boost cdma and broke them off from Boost iden to cut down on the confusion.

Boost cdma only had 300,000 users after Sprint let it decline from a peak of a million users or more. Boost iden has over five million users. 2 million came aboard last year because of the iden unilmited plan.

PTT is one of the TWO advantages that iden has over cdma . The other is the fact that it has a sim card and allows easy swapping between Boost and Nextel handsets. Boost cdma /Sprint phones have a similar level of compatibility but the lack of a sim increases the hassle factor.

the reason people are holding on to the iden side is simple the PTT. There is no PTT on CDMA side of Boost which is why the IDEN technology will not go away anytime soon. There is a ton of people who only use their Nextel and Boost IDEN phones simply for PTT. Now if they came out with this phone on CDMA but still kept the IDEN for the PTT that would be the best move they could ever do. So your choices are CDMA and fast web and no PTT or PTT and slow web its up to the consumer and their cell phone needs. The droid already is made in CDMA for Verizon just flash it over to Sprint.

Ha i remember this phone when that dude “found it,” yeh this phone definately runs on iden, they announced it at i think CTIA, if this phone comes to boost mobile i will without a doubt be buying this phone, boost needs to make an android model on cdma, not iden!!! everybody hates iden, it is so slow, i have an i856 with opera mini 5 and it is still extremely slow, similar to dial-up speeds haha, but i will be upgrading to a better boost mobile phone, i been a loyal customer to boost for almost 5 years, tried other carriers like verizon and net10 but once boost came out with the $50 all you can eat plan, i looked forward and never looked back, c’mon boost the blackberry is a nice touch but we need android on CDMA!!!

It would seem everyone is going fancy now days. I have a nice samsung R451C from Net10 an i found that 300 minutes for $30 was more than enough and I can use the web. Im not surprised Net10 is holding on, I think Prepaid it fantastic so I hope they stick around.
