Yes, prepaid options have come a long way, baby, and Boost seems to like it way.
Boost Mobile’s intro of the Motorola Stature i9 recently was just the beginning of a swanky new handset line for them. We learned during the an interview posted a few sites with VP Neil Lindsay that the company planned some new handsets which would replace the outdated models in their current lineup. It seems Boost is taking the lead for fancier prepaid phones available to users.
Engadget Mobile caught sight of the Motorola i856 slider, an iDEN phone, and given Boost’s desire to get better/more diverse phones, this could be headed for the prepaid arm of Nextel, rumors report. It features a 1.3 megapixel camera, microSD expansion, Bluetooth, a 2.2 inch display, and push to talk capabilities. No word on pricing, though it should be a fair bit cheaper than the i9. Look for it in the third quarter or so, if reports are accurate.
