I have a plan with verizon and its so expensive,I am going to switch to metro PCS,i like the idea of prepaid with a cheaper price and the metro pcs stores are going up all over,I think they will blow ATT and Verizon out of the water,at least if your phone shuts off,you don’t have to worry about collection agencys lol!!!!!!!!!!

Jay, you are very narrow minded. Most people who buy prepaid don’t leave the area? A very ignorant statement on your part. I’m a doctor, and so are my colleagues. Almost all of us have prepaid blackberries, and Iphones. Go get educated before speaking out next time. I live on the l affluent peninsula and we have a boost store and metro locally.

Firstly Boost mobile, Metro PCS or any other prepaid phone plan is not simply for the minorities. The idea of choosing a month to month over a contract plan is a wise descion for the low income to the higher income HH. Companies like T-Mobile and Verizon are offering month to month plans, in the end we all want choice and we get this when we choose a flexible month 2 month plan.

Also The Blackberry for Boost is CDMA not iden. And Boost isn’t just for minorities. It’s for someone who wants decent nationwide service (with no roaming, might i add) and doesn’t see the point in being involved with a 2 year plan. The two year plan is gonna have some serious competition in the next few years.

Just got my Blackberry 8330 for boost. My monthly unlimited plan went up 10 bucks for the enhanced service provided for this phone. To be honest, this is the best phone i’ve ever had. I love it. But prior to this phone, the best,most expensive phone i’d owned was the motorola i9 for boost. So you see the gap there. This phone is great. I can surf the web at a nice speed,watch videos on the net and I’ve got an even better mp3 player than before. I’ve had this phone less than 8 hours so the only complaint that i have so far is that the phone feels cheap, like i need to be super-careful with it. Other than that, I’m good until I can afford an iphone. This phone set me back $225 at my local ghetto phone store. I talked him down $25 because someone lifted(stole) my i9 off the counter.

Don you right boost is in a lot more places, but if you look at the (target market: MINORITIES) most people who buy “prepaid” phones don’t leave their home area, also the FCC won’t just allow METROPCS or any other Carrier to just start providing services you have to have a certain license(A,B,C) to do so and some markets already have an owner, also Its a REGIONAL carrier for a reason it works in certain METROpolitan areas but with continued growth Metropcs will only get better! HELLO, HELLO, HELLO!….LOL

Actualy boost mobile is is in a lot more places then you think. My brother told me about metro pcs but aparently metro is NOT available in all areas of Metro New York. As for boost coming out with a blackberry ptt phone… well i’l believe that when I see it.

Matthew, your post is UNtruth’D. It is obvious you are a Boost employee lying about the competition. Actually, Boost is the limited service. They do not roam since iDEN does not work beyond certain areas. MetroPCS works in 300 cities, I live in Boston MA and Metro is available here, in NY, In Philadelphia… Boost belongs to Sprint – why support an MVNO on an old archaic network like iDEN. The Boost Blackberry will be another sad footnote.
