Boost Unlimited adds another handset

In a sign that Boost Unlimited will be, in fact, expanding, they’ve launched a new handset for the plan: the Motorola W385. To us, it looks like a glorified RAZR. But Boost sees it differently: “The Motorola W385 is Boost Mobile’s most feature-rich phone ever with Bluetooth®, GPS, 4x Digital Zoom VGA Camera, Text and Multi-Media Messaging, Wireless Web, access to AOL®, Yahoo!® and MSN® Instant Messaging, Hands-free Speakerphone with Voice-Activated Dialing and Voice Recorder, and Customizable Photo Caller ID.” Once again, sounds like a garden-variety phone to us.

The phone will run at $129.99, so it’s not all that bad, especially considering the supposed lack of subsidy. And remember, you’re getting so much more than a phone [/sarcasm]:

The Boost-branded phone doubles as a youth fashion accessory, including a two-toned color combination of Café Brown and Black Slate, Bright Color TFT Internal Screen, and vertically-oriented External Black-out Screen – all packaged in a sleek, fashionable soft-touch design.

Yay! Another fashion accessory! Okay, we’ll stop. It’s not a bad phone, and it’s not a bad deal. And now you’re not limited to one puny handset if you live in California or Texas and want Boost Unlimited.

   Yes, but you need motorola phone tools software for internet connection. Expensive and slow was my experience.
