Boost is getting the S5!

I hear and seen this girl told me that the device is in stores on Monday . 05-19-2014 . she said they come in shipments of 15 for security reasons . she said she could sell one early as Wednesday if I was dealing with her . so this sounds like employees and area reps and area managers get first picks.
But watch out the s5 has many problems I have seen and hear from a boost worker that say wait cause the first update will need to FIX a lot of issues with the device

For right now both the Boost and Virgin version of the phones are ONLY white. For now.

To my understanding the other color is not available to most prepaid companies, period.

It's surprising that VM and Boost currently only have the white model. Do you know when they'll get other colors?

MetroPCS has the black Galaxy S5:

Ting (a Sprint MVNO like VM and Boost) also has a black Galaxy S5:

I asked a friend who might know, right now it will not be in any other color but white. There is some talk with Sprint about Sprint getting it in black for Boost Mobile.

According to him, the original plan was to have it only in black for Boost and only in white for Virgin and that this plan changed only a few weeks ago
