Just picked up this phone today at Best Buy. Interestingly, it's still listed as "coming soon" on Best Buy's website and isn't listed as for sale on Boost's website either.

I went to Best Buy yesterday, purchased the phone, but when they tried to activate it in store, they realized that it wasn't supposed to be on the floor untli today, so I had the BB employee hold a phone for me. When I came this morning, one of the two that had been on the floor was already gone, so I'm glad I had them hold one.

So far, phone runs very smoothly (coming from a Boost Samsung GS3), even with 4 pages of apps installed. Mobile ID didn't install, which turned out to be a good thing, since the phone is mostly stock now. Love it so far.
 
My wife wants this phone, but does not want boost (it's there as of yesterday). I'm kinda liking this myself; as the specs are the (same or nearly) as my Moto G...absolutly LOVING the 128G capacity on the SD card.
Those that have it, PLEASE dole out HONEST and ACCURATE critiques!

Peace,
Sox

Yea I bought the Sharp Aquos Crystal October 6th from best buy and so far I love it but can't move games or pictures to my Sd card. Don't care for that to much...feel like just wasted money for an Sd card I can't even use. But overall it has been a great phone. Looks great to...not the same old Android device look.

Bought mine last Saturday and loving it. Happy to have great GPS after coming from the LG Optimus F7.

Same here, I'm also coming from the F7. Working gps!!! Other than the overpriced S5 and iPhones, this is the best phone Boost has. There isn't anything about this phone not to love. Anyone looking for a new phone from Boost or Virgin should really pick up this phone.

Has anyone heard anything about a release date for Virgin Mobile? I've checked several shops around the city and none have it or know when they will. The phone isn't listed on VM's website. The only place that lists the phone for sale is Amazon which had a release date of the 25th however it went straight to "Out of Stock".
