It’s unknown what Sprint plans to do for Boost Mobile subscribers who rely on walkie talkies. Sprint does have its own Direct Connect push to talk service, and it appears they’re working with Nextel customers on a migration plan. Yet Sprint does not currently offer Direct Connect services though Boost, and nothing indicates that they will in the future. This is, however, something we could see come up again as we move towards April and people experience service disruption.

PhoneNews.com has a comprehensive write-up of the issue. But in terms of Boost customers, there are many questions that currently don’t have answers.

What you see above is the LG Marquee, the latest Android handset from Boost Mobile. It was previously available from Sprint, but as with many of their Android handsets, it has made its way to the prepaid arm. It’s key is its thinness, just 0.36 inches thick. It also has a quality 1GHz processor and 4GB of storage — plus microSD expansion. The 4-inch screen is another plus. With a 2MP front-facing camera it’s also ideal for video chatting. The Marquee is a bit more expensive on Boost, $279, but it doesn’t require a contract. You can get it on January 23rd at Boost Mobile stores and at other outlets a bit later than that.

Finally, Boost Mobile adds a low-cost Android handset. Their current lineup features three Androids, priced at $150, $200, and $230. Now they’ve picked up the Samsung Replenish, which will cost just $100. It’s a full QWERTY candybar, dividing the front between the screen and the keyboard. Heavy texters will appreciate that. It also runs Android 2.3, which is about the best anyone could have expected it to run. All in all it looks like a pretty low- to mid-range Android handset, which fits with the price. It does have another benefit as well: it’s made from 82 percent recyclable materials. Hence the name. Get it? You can get the Replenish on January 16th.

Pictured above are two Android handsets headed for Boost Mobile in the near future. On the left is the full-touchscreen LG Optimus Black. We’ve seen this on a few carriers before. It’s a solidly mid-level Android handset that will likely come in at an affordable price. The other, the Samsung Replenish, is yet another attempt to make a BlackBerry-like Android. It’s going to be a quality handset for heavy messagers, but the small screen won’t play well with multimedia users. In any case, the source, PocketNow, has only “first half of 2012″ as an estimated release time frame. I’d expect first quarter, considering these are already dated handsets.

Boost Mobile is at it again. They’ve announced yet another Android handset for their lineup. This is the ZTE Warp, and you can see many of its most prominent features in the screenshot. But really, it leaves out some of the doozies, including a nice, big 4.3-inch display and a 1GHz processor. Top of the line Android handsets are a bit faster, but not by too much. It does run Android 2.3 and could get a 4.0 upgrade eventually. It will drop on November 2nd and will cost $249.99.

That Coming Soon circle you see in the above screenshot? Outdated. Over the weekend Boost Mobile released the Samsung Transform Ultra, a high-end Android handset that is now the darling of Boost’s lineup. It’s blazing fast at 1GHz, and it runs the latest version of the Android software. It’s also at a good price for a no-contract, high-end device: $229.99. You can get yours at Boost Mobile’s website. Remember, there’s now a $5 monthly surcharge for Android devices, so you’ll have to put down $55 per month rather than the standard $50. But if you’ve paid your bill on time for 18 straight months, it’ll cost you only $40 per month.

Here we have the Motorola i940, an iDEN handset that recently made an appearance at the FCC. It’s an Android handset for sure, featuring a 5 megapixel camera but not much else. That is, we don’t know how fast it runs or the actual screen size. This one could easily be coming to Boost Mobile — in fact, I recently noticed that the i1 is no longer available on Boost Mobile’s website, so this could be the replacement. Expect to hear a bit more about this in the next month or so.
