Motorola i1 Headed to Boost Mobile
We just found out that the rugged Motorola i1 is available on SouthernLINC Wireless, and we are now learning of what will potentially be the next carrier to host the first iDEN ‘Droid. MobileCrunch has gotten their hands on a little promotional image that shows Boost Mobile getting the handset, which will be sold exclusively through Best Buy Mobile.
This makes the i1 not only Boost’s first Android phone, but the first pre-paid Android phone in the US, and it will be available with their $50 unlimited data/web/text plan. Does it really matter what other phones Boost has? This one — for as lowly as it may seem in the Android world — easily trumps the rest of their lineup. And really, the idea of Android coming to the pay-as-you-go market is great.
If pricing on SouthernLINC is any indication, this one should probably be going for around $275. Maybe more, maybe less.
