Mobile Phone Haven

Boost is finally moving their Pre-paid unlimited service from their CDMA to their iDEN system. The official launch date is Jan. 22, 2009. It will be a $50 flat rate fee with no taxes, convenience fees, roaming fees or long distance charges. Included will be unlimited calling, text, walkie-talkie, nationwide coverage (that’s over 15,000 cities), web, voicemail, long distance and free roaming. Now that’s a plan I can get down with. Rumor has it Boost will be releasing the Motorola Cabo and a Palm Treo style phone soon after the launch date. Watch out Metro PCS, there’s a new kid in town and he’s looking to kick some mobile ass!

My sources at Boost Mobile tell me that the company plans to release 8 new phones in 2008 on the Boost Unlimited system. I hear the next to join the current trio is the LG Rumor. The company is finally branching out from the usual Motorola handset releasing phones from LG, Sanyo and other brands to give customers a decent option. With Metro PCS’ line-up of phones constantly changing and growing it’s nice to see that Boost is finally accepting the fact the prepaid unlimited is here to stay.
