When you think of mobile phones offered by prepaid phone services, would you think of an Android smartphone? You would be if your provider is Boost Mobile. Available soon at Boost Mobile Exclusive Retail Stores, Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile standalone stores, the Motorola i1 is the first walkie-talkie enabled touchscreen phone powered by Android available from Boost Mobile.
The i1 features a 5MP camera, 3.1-inch HVGA display, and is one of the first devices to feature the new optimized Opera Mini 5 Web Browser. The i1 also comes with Wi-Fi and is one of the first Android phones to integrate new SWYPE technology for super-fast messaging.
“Last year Boost disrupted the wireless marketplace with the $50 Monthly Unlimited offer, and we are doing it again with the launch of the Motorola i1,” said Neil Lindsay, chief marketing officer, Boost Mobile. “Together with Motorola, we are able to offer the Android experience to those customers who enjoy the walkie-talkie feature. And with 1,100 Best Buy locations, 80 Best Buy Mobile stores and exclusive Boost Mobile stores nationwide, customers will not have to search far to find this hot handset.”

umm.. hello i have a question how much is it?
I have an android phone and I absolutely love it. My husband has an iphone and he wishes he had an android. I think the iphone developer has some competition on his hands with the android system.
I love my android phone too! Sometimes I wonder what I ever did without it. You can basically do everything on your phone. Anything from fax to email is included in some type of app.
Having a prepaid card is great for younger people who may get phones for the first time. Keeps them out of debt and manage their phone expenses better.
