    HERE'S MY STORY..


    I HAD BOOST CHIP IN A NEXTEL i850 AND THE PHONE WORKED OK..
    EXCEPT FOR THE TEXTING FEATURES.. YOU COULD TEXT MESSAGES BUT IT WOULD TAKE A LITTLE TIME. WHEN YOU GOT A MESSAGE BACK, IT WOULD "DOWNLOAD".. AND THAT DOWNLOAD TIME WAS HORRIBLE! 2 MINS, 3 MINS, ... WOW .. FOR A TEXT?? THAT SHOULD GO TO YOUR TEXT BOX AND IT SHOULD OPEN WITH EASE! RIGHT????!!!!

    SO I CALLED BOOST AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T HELP BECAUSE THEY DON'T SUPPORT NON BOOST PHONES AND THAT I WAS HAVING THAT PROBLEM BECAUSE I WASN'T USING A BOOST PHONE.. IF I BOUGHT A BOOST PHONE THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY!


    NOW.. I BOUGHT THE i776 PHONE AND IT STILL HAS THE SAME DOWNLOADING PROBLEM!!!! SOMETIMES IT ACCEPTS THE TEXT AS A REGULAR TEXT.. SOMETIMES IT SAYS "DOWNLOAD".. TODAY MY BOY REPLIED BACK TO ME ABOUT MEETING UP FOR LUNCH.. THAT DOWNLOAD TOOK 2 MINS.. AND IT WAS JUST MY BUDDY SAYING "K".. ONE FREAKIN LETTER!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!! DOWNLOADED FOR 2 MINS FOR ONE LETTER? THE LETTER "K"

    I CALLED BOOST MOBILE AND THEY TOLD ME TO DO THE MASTER CONTROL CRAP THAT RESETS THE PHONE..

    STILL DOES THE DOWNLOAD.. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T!!!

    I CALL MY PHONE WITH OTHER PHONES TO TEST THE QUALITY..
    "PLEASE WAIT WHILE THE NEXTEL SUBSCRIBER IS LOCATED"... THEN IT GOES TO VOICEMAIL.. MY PHONE IS ON!!!! IT HAS BARS!!!!!

    WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH BOOST!!! IS IT THE IDEN NETWORK??? WHY DOES THE CDMA WORK BETTER????

    CAN ANYONE HELP ME??? IS THERE SETTINGS I DON'T KNOW ABOUT?

    I ALREADY SET THE TEXT SETTING ON AUTOMATIC DOWNLOAD.. STILL ASKS TO "DOWNLOAD"...

    DAMMMMM ITTTTTT!!!!!! BOOST YOU ARE KILLING ME!!!!

    Nextel/Boost iden network has always been known to have a terrible MMS system, however you should call customer service and have them reprovision your MMS settings on their end, that should help a bit.

    i got the black berry curve 8330!

    great phone!

    it's super easy to have your yahoo, gmail, or msn come to your phone!
    if you email yourself pics, you get them on your black berry and download them into your phone! i got some cool and clear wallpaper! Got Darth Maul Swinging his blade on my desktop! tight!

    or create a black berry email address or both! one for friends and bb for family! plus your inbox for text!

    great coverage! i'm happy...


    by the way .. i did call boost to try to reset my sms issues.. they couldn't do nothing about it! boost c/s sucks .. period! i'm happy i'm gone!


    I still have my boost cdma .. that gets good coverage too! I'm gonna sell that phone..


    p.s. i would stay away from the black berry 8330i .. the one nextel has! i wouldn't trust any black berry on the iden network!

    my sprint bb 8330 runs on the cdma network! happy happy happy!

    That's amazing how you got that phone for $49.00. I saw this same phone with verizonwireless, but that one costs more. I don't know if you actually went to sprint or got it from online, I don't know. You usually get online discounts and all of that from buying them online. Let me know how you went about doing that, the phone seems to be really hot. I'm not really trying to mess with boost anymore, seriously lol. FOR FUTURE REFERENCES NO ONE GET A BOOST FOR ITS CAMERA OR TEXTING! Lol... Take my word(s) for it.

    Well, he got a Sprint phone, not a Verizon phone. That is why the Sprint one may be cheaper. Sprint may be offering a promotion for the device.

    With Verizon Wireless, the online price is the same as the in store price EXCEPT the instant "Online Discount" is a mail in rebate when you're in the store.

    Oh, well that sounds reasonable. I saw the blackberry pearl online, on the verizonwireless site. The purchase online is free, so it says, and all you would have to do is pay for the bill. I'm not sure as to if their are any hidden fees or anything, but I think I should check into that first. Is verizon or sprint a better company? I've always been with a company called "cricket" so I've never been outside of that company as far as a company that requires a contract.

    Well, your state may require you to pay taxes...EVEN ON A FREE PRODUCT. So I'd check into that...

    Well, Verizon Wireless is a better company...They offer national coverage that doesn't limit you to the highways/freeways. Sprint offers just as much coverage as Verizon, but they offer a lot of roaming (which is using Verizon's network). Verizon also has better customer service.

    lol, can't help but think your statement is a bit biased.

    Re: I'm a little bummed out on the new boost mobile unlimited plan!

    Ok...it's just a little biased. Let me rephrase it.

    Verizon Wireless and Sprint PCS are both large wireless carriers both with large networks. They are also close roaming partners, so even when your off network...your probably using the other carrier's towers which makes coverage about the same; however, Sprint PCS places their own (on network) towers near major populated areas and interstates/freeways. This means not all of your features will work when you exit the Sprint coverage area and begin to roam. Also, some price plans may not offer free roaming (but most do). Sprint PCS doesn't offer all that great of a customer service department, but this is improving. Verizon Wireless offers great coverage (most of it is their own) and great customer service. You'll just be paying quite a bit more for service. The average Sprint plan is about $10 cheaper than an identical Verizon Wireless plan. Verizon Wireless has now added the Friends and Family service, which may be of benefit to some.
