Boost, Virgin get their own new Samsung Galaxy phones | Mobile - CNET News

Im going to my local Boost store on Friday to reserve mine. $369 is a few dollars more than what I expected, but for this phone, Ill pay it. Now I just have to figure out how I can not go to paying the full $55 a month, Im currently paying $40.

Also, are any of you super genius Prevail devs plan on getting this phone?
 
Well I bought the Motorola XPRT because I'm broke but goodness I would never lay down $350 just for a phone. Too much money, maybe not too much for the specs ? but god no. Still its great having such a high end phone on Boost. This will surely bring in more customers.

Were also getting the Galaxy Rush :) Android 4.0 =( i wish i didnt buy the xprt now lol

ICS is nice but it will be super sweet when somebody ports CM10 to it. I personally never thought Id lay this many duckets down on a phone, but the 8megapixil camera is what pushed me to go for it. I have a 8month old son and Im always snapping pictures with the Prevail camera, but unless hes not moving, the pics always come out crappy.

Does anyone have a link for the specs on the other 2 phones Boost is getting?

Front page: Boost Mobile Announces Samsung Galaxy S2 4G Arriving In Sept For $370 – Samsung Galaxy Rush For $150

The Rush is seems a slightly upgraded Prevail, not worth the $150.

$370, which seems a bit high right now.

MetroPCS is offering a dual core 1.2gig phone with slightly reduced other specs for $149.

I thought the S2 would be $299.

metro.. ive had them before.. and i gotta say. they sucked.
i always had 3 bars and under. not going back for a cheaper phone.
and i may not buy it right away.. ill probably get it once it goes under $200 or as close as possible.

Going to take quite awhile for the phone to drop by almost 50 %, unless they have an amazing black Friday sale. I would think that it'll be well over a year before this phone dips to $200 ish.
