We've managed to get a look at launch documents for
Boost Mobile's new $50 PayGo Unlimited plan, which just so happens to detail a few upcoming handsets for the scrappy little Sprint division. Look, we're not going to sugar-coat it -- it's not the most exciting lineup we've ever seen -- but then again, this is an iDEN carrier, and a low-cost one at that, so we've got to go into this with an open mind. First up, the venerable i290 candybar will see a $10 price drop to $39.99 on April 15, and if that's not a really awesome way to celebrate Tax Day, we don't know what is. Next, the text-focused
i465 with QWERTY will swing by on June 15 for $109.99. A so-called "Banfi" will come on August 2 for $139.99, and while we can't really make out much about it, it appears to be a slider that might take some visual cues from the
Z9 (in the same way the
i9 takes cues from the
V9, we suppose). Speaking of the i9, there's no sign of it here -- but we will get a "Mako" candybar on October 1 for $89.99. Anyone feeling a sudden, irresistible desire to do some push-to-talking?

Nah, I have a sudden, irresistible desire to tether for free on Boost through a loophole again...
... even if it IS less than dial-up speeds.
does anyone know if nextel phones will work with a boost sim card
They Most Certainly Do......Any Old Nextel that Has a Sim Card Slot. So if U want a Boost Plan But a slightly better Better Phone just pop in a boost sim
I'm wondering that as well Cameron. 50 bucks a month for the HTC Touch Pro sounds good to me.
i dont think the touch pro is iden, but i know that 8350i curve is thats what i was thinking about
Nextel phones will work with the new Boost Mobile unlimited plan. I am using a i880 currently with the $50 plan. I did not have to unlock my phone. The only problem I am having is with web browsing on my phone.
Try calling Boost, they'll probably ask for your IMEI.
My girlfriend is a heavy texter but her 425 isnt all that Great......So shes prolly gonna get a 465 wen its out. The original photos of it absolutley will not be the Final Model And it judging by this Sheet theyve cleaned up the Spikey button deal and revised its Colors. It Doesnt Look that Bad and of all their phones that one will prolly be its most Useful Phone of them all. Ill just call it my "Pre-Paid Tmobile Dash"
Of all Prepaid Plans, Boost's is hands down the Best.
