[extreme0jeff97]

Ever since 2006 Boost Mobile has always been my Phone Carrier

[kookie2100i]

how come on phone reviews they never let us know how many maximum messages for inbox / outbox a phone can hold? i got a t-mobile gravity 2 and it could only hold like 50 messages maxx! i was so mad im like its a frickin phone MADE for texting yet it cant hold many messages. so i went back to my simple phone that could hold 200+ more msgs. :)

[NAWFSIDESOLDIER]

@kookie2100i MY PHONE HOLDS 300

[kookie2100i]

@NAWFSIDESOLDIER mine holds up to 500 ive always deleted it when it got to 200 something.

[MXCrew1]

I brought this phone for $160. The phone is Hot but the Text MSG SUCKS reasons why? due to th fact that its a IDEN PHONE(Nextel company that runs real slow when it comes to text) I had this phone for 5 days and BAM "ERROR" Didnt send MSG SMH I work my ass to get this SHIT and my sis owns the sanyo incognito and THIS IS BETTER even though it doensnt have the normal size ear phone port but the text,call nd internet runs WELL Its a CDMA phone NOT IDEN WEAK ASS PHONE...Check out Boostmobile

@MXCrew1 yea i have an incognito also but where i live i have no network at all so no calls go in or out plus the only phone service that works is nextel around here so i have to have a cdma lol but ima buy this phone as soon as i get paid

[kaeliakrabb]

@valdovinos017 the sanyo incognito

[Attitude29018]

Thinking about this. glad I saw this video. If the i1 doesn't pan out I'm getting this.

[David279300]

@Attitude29018 the i1 is too high....lol,,,i dont know what the actual dealers are charging but i saw some on ebay for $450-$600 bucks.....im just waiting until they come down, i have better things to spend that much money on.

[bladegeo]

blackberry or i856 i have both they both good phones.

[Valdovinos017]

what phone would you recommend for boost mobile?

[Avatarblackwolf]

@Valdovinos017 The Boost Mobile Blackberry curve. Thats the Boost phone you want.

Sent from my BlackBerry® by Boost Mobile

[reytigre2000]

@Valdovinos017 samsung rant



[Valdovinos017]

you cant change the ringtone? D:

[danieldiet1]

moto how do u kno

[msi1210]

all you have to do is go to freeboostappsdotcom you can download like 7 different browsers. tons of games all you need to do is put in your pnone number and they send it right to you 100% free

[eastridgeguy18]

i have this phone....... love it...got the incognito and returned it same day

[miley321fan]

when ur on txt messeging you can change it off of word which is making you do that ..... all you do is go to like when ur typing a messege then click the menu button then go to the word options and click alpha which thats how you do it on my i290 which is a good phone butdosents come whith much

[moto815]

phone sucks even i don't have it..

[msdeede91]

i have this phone and it really sux. it drops calls and is very slow with receiving and sending text messages. dnt get it!!

[MatthewRascon]

i am either getting this phone or the incognito from boost mobile.that exterior for the incognito is realy bad though.I think im getting this phone.ALSO a good review

[y3201]

It was a great review. Thanks for the Video.

[EddKing95]

which one is better motorola clutch for boost or this debut one becuze imma switching to boostmobile in like a week

[paulineSherris]

My opinion you should get the Sanyo Incognito, Im switching too :)

[1joshblanco]

I work at boost and its sucks LOL

[EddKing95]

is boostmobile service going to get better ckuz ryte now it sux dick

[1joshblanco]

yea it does suck, but with the new CDMA phones its way beta cuz it doesnt have the chirp so the internet is beta and the txt is beta to.

[paulineSherris]

Does Sanyo Incognito suck too?

[lleerrooyy123456789]

nando323 me to i cant decide

[illthug98]

can you watch youtube videos on any boost mobile phone?

[melissa61272]

Hope I like it! Just bought the white one!

[nando323]

I'm undecided between this phone or Sanyo Incognito. . .

[austinfrombustop]

go with the incognito

[Teenahh987]

go with the sanyo incognito. even though its the hardest to find, its way better then this one. the messaging is ALOT faster, the mobile web is better and the size isn't that bad either.

[avilacharro73]

Can I install new themes in this phone? And if I can how?

[1DirtyBay]

omq! im qonna qet a boost phone, and i soooo wanna qet this one.!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Miss901Nina]

Does anyone know how to upload or send videos to email from this phone??? Also, how to u download to mp3.... I'm very technology ignorant!

[kaotic325]

just istead of a # put an email

[emizzi18]

i just got one but mine is white its a very cool phone

[SenseiRage]

You can also do pics like that and make a slideshow of your wallpaper. I have mine set to change every 5 minutes, so I don't have to keep looking at the same wallpaper all day.

[SenseiRage]

i found out some cool features on this phone. Did you know that if you have music on your memory card, you can set it as a ring tone. The system will knock it down to a 15sec file. You can then set it to what listing you want. Contacts, Voicemail, WT Alert, whatever.

[760mischief]

wen u buy the fone,duz it come with the sim card???

[Tcjackpot]

@760mischief usaully with a boost phone the sim card does come with it...so most likely yes

[UndisputedCC]

yes

[PS3onDemand]

what??? they always do lol

[kaotic325]

yes n a month free

[EDDIEGIGOWATTS]

I got this phone,, thinking it came with GPS software ,,just like they say on the boost web site ,,well does not come with it,, they

want you to pay extra, taking it back to RadioShack to get my money back

looks like a very nasty scam

[DarthCybie]

What is the problem? Cant spend $4.99 for the TeleNav? That what I did, Works great.

[four11xitk]

whats better i856w? or the i856?

[Roxas3510]

@four11xitk its the same thing, different look

[SBxRiDDL3R]

can i put my sim card on this phone? i got an iphone but im getting tired of it

[cbburtraw]

nope. Different phone technologies. This is an iDen phone, I think AT&T is GSM. No matter what you do (unlock the phone, etc) they will never be compatible. Sorry...

[kaotic325]

if your phone is boost yes

[BENZILLA129]

Yeah i have had this phone for two days and I think it's awesome. Compared to the phone I use to have which was the Motorola c290. which was really crappy and i had it for a year and half.

[guit156]

It appears to me that most of the people who review Boost Iden phones have little experience modifying the programming on the phones they review, or choose not to do so for other reasons. Most of the complaints I have seen are the result of ignorance, and not the phones. Any competent user will replace the browser with Opera, load Google Maps, and even gcalsync, which will sync the onboard calendar with a google calendar. To get the most from GPS, try Life in Pocket.

[zaytoven6]

quit complaning about the dam text and deal wit it

[moneyrex1]

yo why i cant use thew msn? is thats because i dont have a memory card or wat?

[mami4u2luv]

if i were to clip a song that i liked to 10 seconds long and then put it on my micro sd card and put it in the phone could i then set that 10 second song as a ringtone? if someone knows please let me know

[kingmaddog2020]

In order to use your own music clip as a ringtone you have to send it to your phone from your PC via bluetooth or usb cable. That way it is in the sounds that are stored directly on the phone.

[rocker12347]

This phone works really well, don't why people are putting it down

[dacasman]

uuugggg so shitty

[xman01291995]

the battery life on this phone kindov sucksz but its okay i guess???

[kearnej]

phone is garbage! get a nextel 8350i and u can unlock in 15min and use your boost sim!

[SeuGiovinho]

do u guys know what the data modem is?

[wonderkid11189]

How long does the music play back last with a headset?

[Perezrandy1]

Should i buy this phone? for 149.99 on boostmobile? or get the VerizonWireless-Intensity? or Lgrumor2 from Sprint? Please let me know. Also how is the pad ion the i856 is it rubbery or plastic feel? and can u connect to Facebook,Myspace,Twitter?

[Syrinx69]

You can get this phone cheaper on Ebay than from Boost Mobile website

[Natbrat6291]

I just got this phone last week. The battery life is pretty sad!!! You don't have to go through all those steps to get to URL, once you hit the web button, if you just hit the menu button 9 with the four squares) It lets you choose: Got to URL, Veiw History ect.. Thanks for the detailed video of the phone, wish I would of came here before I bought it! =-)

[Syrinx69]

You can turn off bluetooth to save on battery power. There's also a stronger battery available for this phone called the BN11, which has 1650 mha as opposed to the 1140 mha of the BN70 battery the phone comes equipped with.

[marshmellow8931]

i have it but girly(: wit flowers on itr

[MoonZappa1226]

why cant i receive emails for this phone but i can send them!!

[originalrodriguez5]

do yu need to remove the micro sd card to put music on the phone? plz respond

[comcasttiny]

yes u do

[roughneck613]

yes... you do.. here the step..

get micro sd card.. get the sd adapter.. that plugs into computer (kinda like a flash drive).. place songs in the sd card.. take it out computer..and put it in phone.. and allow your phone to recognize it.. and voulaa

[ThroschSkateC0]

Does boost work outta state?

[vasie93]

hey im getting this phone on friday and i was wondering how are the keys on the slider and on the main place when the phone is not slid down. Are they too hard? I have the i776w and thinking of getting this. Please respond with any ups or downs on this phone ty

[gualo21]

[explorador26]

Iden needs Andorid

[causeimrandom]

can you use the music you download as a ringtone or can you just use the usb to put your own on it?

[250hdd]

i like your reviews the best because you get straight to the point unlike noah from phonedog

[hendev33]

Very nice review! Nice phone too even though a qwerty keyboard would have been better.

[lilb5505]

Im gettin dis

[gamergrounds]

nice vid man your review is maknig me want to get this phone but i just want to make sure and can check my hotmail, myspace, and youtube

[KillaforniaConnected]

@gamergrounds can you check your myspace and all tht wit this phone?

[gangsta2wo6ixworld]

how in the hell could they have not gone with a touch screen or a full keyboard like the i465 wtf is motorola smoking they gotta step they cellphone game up boost mobile the sh-- but they got to get out of they contract or watever they got with motorola because the price they charge for theyre phones u would think u where payin for an iphone or blackberry

[l0kgirl]

... makes i9 look good, even when there's nothing wow about the i9

[6667779311]

This is the screen and camera they should have put on the I465.

Whoever designs phones for motorola should be fired. They always miss the boat. How about a 20 key sure type keyboard on this phone.

[getleashed]

awesome review!!!

not interested in getting this phone though. lol. i got my Clutch i465 and it's awesome :D

[ALIENSEVIDENCE]

can u watch You tube vdz on this phone??

plss answer..

[RapSerbia]

nothing special

[sitstandnow]

yea... the messaging system looked cramped up =/

[zerolimits456]

once upon a time Motorola made great phones...i wonder what happened...looks like a solid build to it..Love reviews you have a great style and you don't attack the phones in a bad way..just mutual.

[xoANONiMUSox]

yeah, his reviews are great, he is not biased!, but what i dont like about them (the reviews) is (e.g.) @ 1:10 he doesnt like that....

for a n00b user like me, his opinion means a lot because (i) consider him a professional phone reviewer (witch he actually is) and automatically, when he doesnt like something on a phone, i start to "not like it" too because i think he has a good reason not to like it.....

and i dont like to tilt my head while watching a review!....
