Good review. I used to have Boost, but now I have Verizon. After having Verizon, I can honestly say that Boost is better. Their phones aren't the best, but for 50 bucks a month, you can't go wrong. It beats Verizons price for sure. Definitley gonna' sub to you man.
I have to say this phone is terrible. No outgoing or incoming texts while making a phone call, sometimes texts don't download and you can't read the message even after restarting it. The screen is glass and cracks really easily, as mine did after only having it for 4 months, Freezes frequently while using the net, so on and so forth.
i recommend looking at the warranties on all boost phones before buying this. the screen stopped working on my i856 a month after the warranty!!!!! i'm getting the sanyo incognito
Hey I am thinking of getting this phone, but once I get the phone, do I need to pay extra for like internet browsing? I really don't understand phones much. Thanks.
@tricksshomagic1 this video is from 3 months ago you little shit. prices tend to change over time. go to the actual website, "dum shit". youre a fucking moron.
dont be offended. he leaves negative comments on every video he watches, even mine. he's just an angry teenager whose gone emo. he'll cut his wrists soon enough.
your a dum shit this phone is a 149 dollars plus tax comes up to 165 dollars phone you dont even know what your are even saying fuck face this comment is for that dum shit westorbeb
wow ur a tard! go on the boost mobile website! oh gee what do i see? oh shit i think its got this phone for $100... wow know ur facts before you open ur big ass mouth you retard!
Hey, i had a couple questions... I have the clutch and it alot of the times my texts will say "dowloading" and I was wondering if it does this on yours alot too? And when i send picture messages they wont open on any other phone except a clutch, so i was wondering if your picture messages open on any other phone? Cause my mom has the i9 and hers open on any other phone. Okay well thanks
okay so i have the i856w. which is the same as yours but a tad bit different. but when you send your text messages does your phone send the same message more than once? none of my other boost phones did but this one does.
yeah mine does that. idk im so frustrated with it. like now its got a short in it so when yu slide it open it shuts off completely. and ive only had it for 2 and a half weeks. thanks tho. i appreciate it. the vid was great. =]
Too all that are thinking about switching to Boost CDMA. It runs on Sprint "HOME" network ONLY. Which coverage is limited to Metro cities and Interstate highways ONLY. Coverage on the iDEN network is a lot, Well, Larger. So keep that in mind, cause if you have an iDEN phone now and switch to there CDMA. You might not have coverage at the same place.
four11xitk- It's around 160. Your state Differs from my state(which is Michigan). I'm still So/So on this phone.. It looks awsome! but theres 3 new phones coming from Boost: a Blackberry-well run around 249.99 a (FULL-Qwerty-Keyboard phone) called Sanyo Incoginto- well run 149.99 and Sanyo Mirror- well run i think 99.99 or less! I'm Desideing, btween i856&Sanyo Incoginto Which should i get?
Is this phone good for the price of like 160.00 with Sales tax? Is the phone really built good? i dont want to text like 1000 times and the slide breaks and restarts the phone 100000times.
@srayw i have a question; when i bought my phone the same one as yours , it didnt come with a cable thing you use to download things to your phone like music and other stuff, did yours come with it or did you buy it sepratly? and do you know where you can buy them?
No mine phone didnt come with a cable. but if you want to buy one its a "micro usb to usb" cable and you can get them from any electronic store around you
Is the pad hard to get use to? I like the phone i've been with Boost and have a 2004 phone lol. it's pretty old, but time to upgrade, soo is the pad like i said hard to get use to? because, I'm a Heavy Hevay Texter. I can text 1000+ Messages a month, I do over the phone text sales selling items easy and do better than online xD also, Am i able to access Myspace,Facebook,Twitter,Youtube?
Well for the first couple of days the key pad was hard to use but now im completely fine with it. So i think u will probably get use to it. and as for myspace, twitter, facebook , and youtube. you can access all of those except for youtube you can not watch the videos, or on any other video site with this phone. so thats kind of a drag
it is a good phone i wish it had a better web browser i pay 100 buck brand new for minds...is there a better broswer app for this phone besides mini opera yeah the speakers are loud lol
Ya i tried that but it wouldn't work for some reason. and whenever i go to the video section on the phone it says "add videos by connecting phone to computer" so im guessing you can only do direct transfer for videos
it works down load format factory . com convert what ever vid. to 3g vid and put it in your vid folder i got like ten movies on my phone!!! this phone is the shit!!!
