WHY BOOST?

I have NEVER seen a company shoot itself in the foot like Sprint. The Nextel public have been screaming for a text phone and yet we'll just give it away on Boost. Real smart marketing move there. You better hope the Pre sells well. Oh wait you're only going to sell it through exclusive dealers not everyone. Another great move there! 👿

Really, Boost Mobile? Really??

I hope the irony is not lost on my fellow PhoneScoop readers. A QWERTY phone from Boost Mobile? With all the text messaging delays they have been saddled with and continue to face? Wow. Just wow. Way to have priorities, Boost Mobile. Why not fix your network THEN release phones that have text features? Just an idea.

LOL, the irony had been lost on me, thanks for the reality check! I guess absentmindedly I just started drinking the Kool-Aid when they said on May 7th everything will be all better, lo.

Are the text messaging delays still really bad? I thought that they said they were fixing them?
