Virgin Mobile And Boost Mobile Get Their First 4G WiMax Handsets: The HTC EVO V 4G And EVO Design 4G, Respectively

Looks like Sprint's underling companies have been busy working on bringing the first taste of 4G to the pay-as-you-go market. Piggybacking off of Sprint's 4G WiMax network, Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile will both begin offering one 4G-capable smartphone each on May 31st: the HTC EVO V 4G on Virgin and the EVO Design 4G will be representing all that WiMax has to offer on Boost.

HTC EVO V 4G

The EVO V appears to be some sort of rehash of the EVO 3D:

4.3-inch qHD display
1GB RAM
5MP rear shooter with 3D imaging, 1.3MP front camera
4GB internal storage, microSD card slot
1730mAh battery
Android 4.0 with Sense 3.6

There's no word on processor or clock speed, but I'll be surprised if it's not the same 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon that's in the original EVO 3D.

LG Marquee Coming To Boost Mobile On January 23 For $280

Cameron Summerson — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:02:00 +0000

Pay-as-you-go carriers have never had the latest and greatest handsets, but many are trying to offer more higher-end devices than ever before. Thus is the case with Boost Mobile, which just announced it would be getting the LG Marquee, a modest mid-ranger for anyone on a budget, on January 23rd for $280. While there is no sort of contact involved, users who buy this device are required to purchase an "Android Monthly Unlimited" plan for $55 a month.

The Marquee is far from the top of the pack, but it's nothing to scoff at when put into perspective from an economical standpoint, either.

Boost Mobile Goes Green, Announces The Samsung Replenish - Available on January 16th For $99 Without Contract

Cameron Summerson — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:30:00 +0000

We told you yesterday that Android 2.3 started rolling out to the Samsung Replenish on Sprint, and now it looks like the eco-friendly handset is coming to one of Sprint's pay-as-you-go carriers, Boost Mobile.

Boost announced the handset this morning, and while it's not a game-changing device in terms of spec, it does have a nice price tag: $99. No contract. You can't beat that with a stick.

Specs:

2.8-inch display (240x320) with physical QWERTY
600MHz single-core processor
2MP rear shooter
Android 2.3
Made from recycled materials

Like I said, it's not a game changer. However, for $99 without contract, it's still quite a good deal.

Sprint Announces Samsung Transform Ultra For Boost Mobile: 1Ghz Processor And Gingerbread For $230 Without Contract

Cameron Summerson — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:12:25 +0000

Boost Mobile, a pay-as-you-go subsidiary of Sprint, is set to add yet another Android-powered device to its lineup: the Samsung Transform Ultra. Like most other Boost phones, the Transform Ultra isn't as powerful as something that you'll find a post-paid carrier, but the lack of a required agreement makes this a very attractive product nonetheless.

While some of the more detailed hardware specs were left out of the official press release (see below), here is what we do know about the Transform Ultra:

1GHz processor
3MP rear camera, VGA front
Slide-out QWERTY
Android 2.3.x

As I said, it's far from a powerhouse, but it's nothing to scoff at, either.

Boost Mobile Announces Samsung Galaxy Prevail - Launching "Late April" For $179.99 Off-Contract

Jaroslav Stekl — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 22:45:16 +0000

No one ever accused Boost Mobile of overachieving on the Android phone front, and the carrier's latest announcement doesn't really do much to change that. Indeed, just as expected, Sprint's little tagalong used its recent press conference to unveil its first CDMA Android handset: the Samsung Galaxy Prevail.

With an itsy-bitsy 3.2-inch display, a measly 2MP camera, and a tiny 2GB microSD card out of the box, the Prevail isn't about to blow anyone away - but then again, we geeks probably aren't Boost Mobile's target demographic here. And seeing as the Froyo-equipped device will set you back a mere $179.99 off-contract - $20 less than most smartphones cost with a two-year agreement - it might just win over a few new customers when it launches later this April.

[Updated: Now Official] Samsung Galaxy Prevail Shows Up On Boost Mobile's Site

Cameron Summerson — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 16:41:00 +0000

It has been rumored that Samsung and Boost Mobile will announce the Android 2.2 Galaxy Prevail at tonight's event in New York City, and that has been all but verified now. A Galaxy Prevail teaser is live on Boost's website, accompanied by a "sold online soon" badge and a cool $180 price tag, which seems like a pretty good deal for a no-contract phone.

From a tech aspect, the only thing that we know about the Galaxy Prevail at this point is what you see below, but it already appears to be the best choice from the current Boost lineup, even with that measly 2MP camera and a tiny 3.2" screen.

Where You At: Boost Mobile To Get Its First Android Handset

Have a craving for a push-to-talk Android handset and hefty price tag? Well, then look no further because it seems that Motorola and pre-paid MVNO Boost Mobile have you covered.

That’s right, if you head over to Best Buy’s site, you can find the product page for the Motorola i1, the first Android iDEN handset to hit the market. I’d imagine you’d have to be pretty crazy for the push-to-talk capabilities that the phone offers though, because you’ll have to pay $349.99 to pick one up once it hits Best Buy’s shelf. On second thought, you’d have to be crazy in general to want to pay $350 for a mid-range Android handset – you can nearly buy 2 EVO 4G’s for that price.
