Palm Pre with boost mobile?

Can I use the Palm Pre with Boost Mobile plans?
Would any apps not work?

No, you cannot use it with Boost Mobile. It can only be used with Sprint. Boost is a pre-paid Nextel service (now owned by Sprint). Boost and Nextel use iDEN technology/phones, which is incompatible with what Sprint uses (CDMA).

Good is a relative term, but it's arguably the best phone Sprint offers and the best phone Palm has made in years.

boostmobile has a cdma version too it was released in CA just do a google search. I have it eventhough i'm up here in MN we can activate HTC Touch Pro, blackberry and pretty much any phone. Palm Pre is a little tricky so we need to wait a little on that phone.

It'll be a good day when the pre makes it to verizon.

No, only on the Sprint network. My daughter has the Boost mobile Clutch phone which in spite of the lower resolution screen is a pretty decent phone. There is a bit of a delay with some text messages, but the call quality is very good. Plus, it's unlimited everything for only $50.00 with no contract. Hard to beat.

I agree. I live in CT but use a CA address and have Boost CDMA on a BlackBerry 8830 and it works great on the Sprint (Not Nextel or any IDEN) network. Give it time, people will find a way to make the Pre work on Boost CDMA.
