It’s about time for a real prepaid blackberry

Is this really prepaid? u sure..?

Since the phone will be offered through Nextel, you can purchase the blackberry from them and than use it with Boost Mobile, making it prepaid. The only downside to this is the phone will be pretty expensive as you won’t get any short term price breaks by signing a contract, but in the long term if prepaid suits you better, you will still save money.

have anybody tried this phone on boost?

Cause Nextel people said,it won’t work on Boost.

I not sure it would work. Boost offers a 64k sim card. The question is does the Nextel BB curve require a 128k sim?

i just purchased this phone the direct connect works and so does the phone call part but when you go to send text messages it wont even give you the option to send one and it will not receive either. i went to nextel and they wont help me bc i dont have nextel service. basically i need an unlock code unless some one else knows anything about it.. help please

does anybody have any update on how to activate or program the messages, email and internet on the BB 8350i with boost mobile ???. i know for a fact that the phone works with the boost network.

I tried mi BB 8350i with my brother’s Boost SIM Card and it did not work… It did not even connected to the network and gave a message saying something about a path not found or something like that, Any thoughts?

I have the 8350 I works walkie cell phone butinternet starts talking about wifi¤im on my wifi now¤but don’t know to get in ternet through boostM but I csn tell u this

I have the blackberry 8350i with boost works fine but u can’t send text or receive them unless the text comes from the Internet, the Internet browser won’t work unless u’re connected to a wifi network but u can download a applicacion named opera mini u can browse the Internet with no problem I’m trying to figure out how to use the BB browser and BB messenger when I get it I will let u know guys

has anyone figured out how to access the internet from the blackberry for boost mobile yet? i just purchased a blackberry phone and it will not allow me to go online, but in my screen it is saying that it is activating.

also…i have the blackberry 7100i

i am about to purchase the bb8350i but i need to know if it could be unlocked so all it’s feutures will work for boost. if u can unlock this phone holla back at my email

MY GURL N I ARE THINKN BOUT GETTN THE NEW BLACKBERRY BUT WHAT I’M HEARING I DON’T KNOW IF WE SHOULD.WE HAVE BOOST TOO AS OUR CARRIER.EVERYBODY HAS DIFFERENT FEED BACK ABOUT THE PHONE.THE TWO OF US ARE TEXTERS SO I DON’T KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD DO. CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME FEED BACK ON HOW TO GET ALL THE ALL OUT OF THE PHONE AND THEN SOME. MY E MAIL IS vjcowensakabush@yahoo.com

IT WILL NOT WORK. blackberry phones need “Service Books” and Boost does not have a contract with RIM to have access to their servers, so the blackberry will not receive the service books needed to send or receive text messages, basically the same reason why a nextel blackberry on a nextel price plan wont text unless there is a blackberry data plan. RIM (maker’s of the blackberry) charges the carriers to use their servers, hence the $$$ it costs for a data plan for a blackberry. so, unless Boost gets a contract with RIM, it will NOT work.

CAN ANY ONE TELL HOW I CAN USE MY BOOST SIM CARD IN 8350I…I JUST BOUGHT IT AND IT DOES NOT WORK

I’m interested to use the 8350i on boost for voice and texting only. I heard that the 8350 takes special SIM and even traditional Nextel SIMs wont work in it let alone Boost SIMS. I know that you can use a nextel SIM in old style blackberries like 7100 and 7520–and use keyboard for texting only. Does anyone know anymore?

I just got a blackberry 7100 and i put my boost mobile sim card it works, but when i try to get on the internet it wont let me browse. It tells me my device does nor currently have any browser configurations.If someone please help me.I will be very graful if someone can provime with some info.
Thanks

I have the 8350i from nextel i put in the boost sim and it works the direct connect works and in and out bound calls also as for internet i downloaded opera mini which costs $50 but if you can help me out with the problem below ill provide you with a link to get it for free and it works great just as good as the blackberry’s internet when using wifi. the only problem is when i save my contacts down for those that use boost you know that you have to dial the area code first then the phone number to make a call well i saved my contacts this way with the area code first then the number i have also tried putting a 1 in front of the area code for the contact but when i try to make a call it says “the number or code you have dialed is incorrect” yet when i receive in coming calls it says the contact name can anyone help me solve this problem it really sucks i have to look at each number and memorize it to make a call also does any one know how to get the text messaging working as well? like i said ill provide you with a free working link to get opera mini if you provide me with a solution.

as for those who can get there phone to work at all try buying a new sim card from boost its called the “starter kit” it comes with a sim card and $10 credit it costs $20 you can get them at any sprint store then call boost customer care and activate the card but when they ask you for the IMEI number give them the one from an actual boost phone or other nextel phone that will work on the boost network because the customer rep will not activate the card if you give them the IMEI number from blackberry 8350i because they state it wont work right because the dont have the data package which is half true but who cares… right you just want the thing to work on using boost im almost sure this will solve your problems as for my problem its the post above this one so if i helped you out please read mine and help me out thanks

I had the blackberry 8350 I end up giving it back to the seller cause does not work well with boost you can only call iy you dial manually cause whe you call from your contact it does not callout
you can not text message unless you buy such prgrams and you have to be in wifi
much phone for little service I keep my i880 moded I can actually go msn messanger all day and not get charge a penny extra and use all my services like a regular boost phone

if you have solutions for the common problems post them here

regards

as for the program to buy for texting can you let me know because since i have opera mini as my browser it should work for me i tried 3jam but that did not work if thats the one your talking about

I just got this phone and put in the sim card from my boost i776. I didn’t update it on the website or anything… but I already had service. As per the comments above… Boost didn’t want to update my acct so I just skipped that part.

It works for calling… and whether because of Boost of beause of my home wireless internet I’m able to able to access the web and my email.

Going to add in my contacts and see if i have any issues w/ the numbers and also if the gps works or not.

hey danny i have the solution to your problem of the phone book.
please add me felipe_felipito@hotmail.com
so that we can help each other.
hope to hear from you soon

I have a Blackberry 8350 and i just added it on the boost mobile site. It also looks like it will allow me to add my BB sim also because it starts with the 0008. As far as the phone book, you have to take off smart dialing, it did the same thing to me, and i wanted to destroy my phone. Also as a work around for texting you can use AOL IM to Text, it works and its free. besides that its a great device.

Samiyr

Also Opera Mini is free from opera

Has anyone tried to register the phone? Go into Options> Advance Options> Host Routing Table> Hit menu and register. It kicks an email or MMS to the Blackberry server then sends you a message back. That is how I had to get MMS, SMS to work on the NEXTEL side. It might work for Boost.

well for anyone having trouble when dialing a person on your phonebook, actually its really simply just the # at the end of the number and save it. i dont know how taht work but it works.

if someone can help get internet in my blackberry it would be very helpful.device does nor currently have any browser configurations if some one know how to get around it please let me now.

i have a 7100i running on boost works grat but cant get web and internet i know you can get it to run i just need the website to download the software if someone could help that would be great thanks

does anyone have the unlock code for the blackberry it was stated that the one code was for all blackberrys.
thanks
charlie

so can some body tell me whats the code to unlock the blackberry

I have the curve on boost and it works just fine. Download Opera Mini to get internet. I also have mobile gmail and it updates it. Change the area to UNKNOWN to get the contacts to work correctly. Look on the forums for directions on how to get your text messages. You register for Nextel as a user but not owner — Nextel users have a longer password - which is the distinguishing factor — and then go online and sign up to have your text messages forwarded to your gmail and then note on gmail you want an alert. It checks every half hour. I find that the internet is surprisingly fast! I can also use google maps and can get directions from where-ever I am — as it does locate me. It takes a few days to get your phone working… but it’s a nice phone and I think worth the effort.

PS- you do not need to unlock the curve.
I used my old Boost phone’s code number and the same SIM card # as what was in my brown/silver Boost phone to register the phone with Boost.

Hi Jules,
Where do I go on my Black berry to Change the area to UNKNOWN to get the contacts to work correctly?

hi Oliver
1)go to your phone application,2)press the menu key. click “options”. 3) click “smart dialing”. 4) set the country code to “unknown”. 5) press the menu key and save.

so the 8350i does work with a boost moblie sim card

I have listened to everyone and now I am totally confused. I hate my boost i776 phone. I had a sprint palm and switched to boost. The palm won’t work because it doesn’t have a sims card. I want a blackberry because I want to get on the internet and text. Those are the two things I want but I need to make sure I buy the best phone out there that works with boost mobile. I want my letters to type like a computer. I hate that the 2 button is abc. This is not working for me. WHAT PHONE SHOULD I BUY? PLEASE HELP ME.

Brooke

Hi Jules,
Thank you. I was able to fix the contact number problem. Can you give us more detail about how to get text?
Thanks

I just put my BB on the Boost Network.. I’m lovin’ it.. One question.. This may sound silly, but… Do I need to be on Wifi in order to get on the web?

Hi Nova,
Download Opera Mini for the web.

ppl ppl ppl heres a hint goto a website called crackberry have u guys forgotten how to search the information highway? heres the deal i have a 7100i ive spent 2 or 3 days (they all molded into 1) searching for stuff for my 7100. i found a site called crackberry.com . now i have boost sim ive read thru some of your pitiful questions and answers and here goes. #1 it doesnt matter how big the sim card is ppl these bb’s have their own memory !. #2
u wont ever send a txt message without a service book but as they tell u at crackberry u can send it via email u type in recieving # say like 2123456789@teleflip.com no 1 b4 # and supposedly it will send a text but u have to send it as email from bb. BUT U NEED THE SERVICE BOOKS !
now to surf the world wide web from phone its so simple getr a data cable hook it up make sure it comm’s between phone and comp and download a nice little prog called opera badda bing done upload it DONE! next U NEED A SERVICE BOOK TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING! supposedly u can contact nextel and request but u probly wont get unless u signup for the bb service i went to site signed up on web registered blah blah it has the option u can request the service books but guess what 3 days later still nada so all in all the answer is u can use boost in bb’s just limited usage. but with a data cable u can do almost anything even download free games etc and install. oh and i seen some1 said they need their phone unlocked heres a clue ITS ALREADY UNLOCKED u can go thru motion crackberry describes but u still have to contact nextel for code .

I tried to DL Opera. I have the files on my Desktop on my MAC. I attempted to move the file to my BB, but the browser has not changed. What am I doing wrong?

wow….
I really like this 8350i but im debating on getting it or not.
Text dont work?
That sucks.
But then again you can beat Boost’s price 50 Unlimited everything! web, calls, text, chirp =]
I just bought the i880 and i like the phone pretty hot.

I got it to work..

sprint/nextel don’t care if it works just want your $,i purchased a instinct paper weight. thanks

SO HOW DO I GET THIS TO WORK THEN… I WANT TO TXT OR ATLEAST GO ON THE WEB WITHOUT USING WIFI

can some one tell me how can unlock my RIM blackberry 8350 nextel, i want to conect with BOOST MOBIL, send me an email at; PMARLON91@GMAIL.COM thank you

i have the bb but it dosent work for boost. you can chirp you can call in and out but you cant text. blackberry is there own provider and you need an account with nextel to text. even if you had a nextel account the phone just emails and have pin. you still have to call nextel for them to put text messaging on the phone. this phone is cool but really we all really bought it for texting and without that its useless. like someone said u can use aol text but everyone dosent have that. its better if you can text off your number but it aint working. never will. so people give up and sell it or take it back. or just get a nextel contract. by the way i know this for a fact cuz im a authorize dealer for nextel, boost, t-mobile, etc. WIRELESS HOOK-UP is the name of my shop. in LOS ANGELES CA. thanks hope you take this and ask no more questions cuz really its a wrap.

Marlon is an idiot!! I too am a Boost, t-mobile, and nextel dealer and I have a 7100i with current SB and I can text!! The key is getting the service books.. But your not supposed to know that..lol! People you can text, you can download OTA, you can access the internet and all of the functions you pay for. Just need the SB s . You can get SB from an existing nextel customer…

Once U have Downloaded the OTA do U save it to your blackberry? And how exactly do you get your hands on the service books?

Ok, so how do you get the service books? And what is the OTA? I’m new to this site. Nobody know now? Stuff was sounding good for a minute. C’mon now, all this info being put out here on this site but no answer on the big question? HOW DO YOU GET THE SERVICE BOOKS? Inquiring minds want to know.

yup i have the new BB 8350…phone makes phone calls and walkie talkie works but cant text or send pics….really sucks…now imagine if it would have everything…ill be a very happy camper…GO CHARGERS!

Email me an at michaelglassman1@gmail.com and I will send you service books.

okay i have boost and i have the 8350i and the only way you can use the boost service and the phone is to unlock the phone, plain and simple no if ands or buts, there is no other way, nextel reps will tell you anything in order to make a sale, dont listen to them, if you get the phone just unlock it and then you’ll be able to use boost service on it, thats what i did, and let me tell you it works great

So what you’re saying is if the phone is unlocked, you can use the BB like it’s INTENDED to be used? Not just making calls, I mean internet, text, pix & all that shit? Is that the truth or do you really need SERVICE BOOKS? This is becoming ridiculous because I’m hearing two different things. I just want the damn phone to work like a BB supposed to! So which is it, UNLOCK or SERVICE BOOKS? Please respond!!!!!

I have a BB 8350i and it works for Phone and chirp on boost without doing anything “special” to the phone or service.

FACT!

I read thru multiple posts here that say otherwise. I say those folks are B.S.ing and donnt know what they are talking about!

I have the 8350i and am utilizing all areas of this blackberry on the boost network. In order to download the Opera software for your blackberry, you will have to connect to the WIFI (802.11g) on your phone and download it simply by exploring or searching for the software via google. Also, I setup gmail on my blackberry and am able to send/ recieve emails from all sms gateways using their email to sms addresses. All phone calls and walkie talkie will work without any modifications on the blackberry.

so i can get to the internet using opera mini but when i go to youtube it wonmt let me play the videos it says its a wifi service only so can i install a different player that will let me watch videos from the data plan?

i found a type of card that you use with your sim card and it unlocks all those features. you can find it on ebay, just search for unlock sim card and it’ll pop up. they are fairly inexpensive (like a few dollars) and are well worth it.

Ok I can vouch for the 8350i texting!! I got mine tonight! Works great!! Thanks Mike!

I found a BlackBerry for T-mobile (obviously lost) with NO SIM card inside.
Now, I also have T-mobile as a carrier on my phone. So I thought I could just put my SIM inside of this BlackBerry and use it.
But, IT WON’T WORK !!!!

Can anyone tell me what to do ??????????

hey i kust bought the cd from ebay and it works i dont know about this guy mike but it is possible to text and use the internet with boostmobile i paid the 14.99 but i guess this guy mike will do it for 7.00 so what ever it works and thats all i care.. so remember it not just a dream anymore it is possible lol…. laterz

jose you should make a video for Youtube to see how you did, verify the CD is really work.

Jose where can I buy that cd for $14.99. Your regular text messages work right? some people told me only multimedia text messages worked.

boostservicebooks@gmail.com Multi media messaging is the same as sms (text), just without the pics

WOO! HOO! I can text! Thanks Mike!

I can finally text! Now…. does anyone know how to get actual push mail through their blackberry without using third party apps?? Mike?? Can you make it happen??

Hi Guys,

for a small fee I can set you up with text and web to work on the blackberry 8350i curve and the 7520. Please contact me at arvin31@mail2world.com. I have helped many and they are texting as we speak.
thanks

Hi all, I have boost on my Nextel I580. I have the Nextel simply unlimitied on my 8350 BB. Please someone tell me what I need to do before switching over to boost with the blackberry. I hear about these service books, but I have no idea what everyone is refering to as it appears that other posters arein the same boat. Because I have nextel now, does that mean I already have them. Do I have to save them so that they are not turned off when I leave nextel? Can someone better explain or tell me what to do? Thanks

Arvi your a crook! The service books as you called them bricked my new 8350i!!!!! You suck! Buyer Beware!

Thanks Mike, works like a champ! Any news on the Push mail yet? You said you thought you had it… Shoot it my way when you get it figured out!!

Stay away from Arvi! I too can not get the it policy that accompanied his service books off my phone!!

I got my 8350i today! Cant wait to text! After reading here, there seems to be two places to get the hookup.. Ebay or Mike? It looks like there is more reference to Mike here.. Anyone verify that it is ligit? I cant stand the thought of having to deal with EBAY? to get textin? Which one works? HELP!! Money is tight!

Thanks Mike! Got it working. Appreciate all your help!!
Anyone know where I can get an HTC Mogul? My neighbor has one working on Boost now..Anyone else hear that?

So, simple question here I think… I currently have T-Mobile Service, I have the BB Curve - would like to switch to Boost - Must have the ability to 1. Place/Receive calls 2. Send/Receive all types of texts 3.Connect/Browse web - Can I do all this with my BB Curve? Don’t really care about the walkie talkie feature, but the other 3 are must haves.
I see the posts about Mike and Ebay, just really want to make sure my phone will work before I drop T-Mobile.

Thanks so much!

Ok - One more question - I also have a Samsung Gravity which is also currently with T-Mobile - can I get this to work with Boost? For this phone I simply need to be able to call and text… that’s all.

Thanks so much!

THANKS TO MIKE I CAN TEXT AND USE THE REST OF THE BB FEATURES!!!

MIKE IS LEGIT!!!!

PEACE!

Camelia,

I’m sure Jose didn’t intentionally mess your phone up, he more than likely just passed on what he bought on Ebay or something.. I can get you hooked up! Thanks all, Mike To everyone- I am working on the push mail solution.. But for now MSN or Gmail is your best bet!! boostservicebooks@gmail.com

Aloha Mike,
I just by chance came across this site as I over heard one of the TSA agents going on about having her formerly T-Mobile Curve working on Boost.
My Wife, Son and I had AT&T for 12 years and we each had BB8310 until they started jacking the plans around here in my home town. Since both my wife and I carry a BB8350i from work I decided to cancel the AT&T account. The phones have been dead for 2 months now and I am looking to unlock them BB8310AT&T and use them on Boost as we got our son a generic Boost phone and it’s $50 per month and this is very valuable to us.
I’d appreciate it if you could tell me my BB8310 will work on boost as they are just sitting on my dresser collecting dust and all my contacts are on it…
Mahalo,
Noa

OMG if you made it this far I am going to clear up some ?’s that need clearing up.

1) ATT and Tmobile are interchangeable, its a SIM swap but ATT to Nextel(iDen) is not. Here’s why, ATT is GSM type data and Nextel is old TDMA, so different frequency in MHz, as well as data types. Next Sprint, Alltel now purchased by Verizon, and Verizon themselves are the same freq but these companies track their phones thru its IMEI, a hardwired version of a SIM, Sprint, Alltel, and Verizon use the same type of data but different freq.’s for their phones.

2) There are no unlock codes for Nextel phone, and yes, you will need to update service books, service books are like a list of programs installed on your BB much like a computer, without these its like trying to open a Word document withou having Word! A few people have them but buyer beware, you will need to have some skill to do these things.

3) If you don’t understand what I’m talking about then I would recommend finding a local retailer or reseller that is experienced in doing these conversions. They should have a phone to demo their abilities. Its not too much to ask for a demonstration, if they want to sell you. This way if there are problems youre not stuck with a $200 paperweight.

4) most of the non BB type phones should not require any mods as they do not have BIS/BES dependent programs,

5)and as stated by a previous message, size of your sim is only for the storage of contacts, it has 0 to do with functionality of the SIM just more room for your Contacts. The people stating it fried phones really have no concept of modern electronics, its a chip not a battery, its memory not power! I mean really!

And word of advise to posters-

IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT, AND IT’S ALL JUST CONJECTURE, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. YOU ARE MAKING YOURSELF LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT TO THE PEOPLE WHO DO KNOW, AND SPREADING MIS-DIS INFORMATION TO THE PEOPLE WHO DON’T ACTUALLY KNOW. -Best of Luck, Tony

are you able to use the blackberry messenger feature on the phone? Haven’t seen any1 talk about this yet and this is a key feature on blackberrys.

Thank You Mike it worked. Now how do I fix the dialing from the phonebook problem? I have a 8350 and when I go to options I cannot find the “smart dialing” feature. Please help me.

Everyone has mention that the bb8350i will work with the $50/month plan from boost; but i just want to ask if it will work with the pay as you go plan I wont be texting or using the internet very much may be once ar twiwe a week.

I just ordered my BB and I have Boost. I know that the voice and DC will work. I was researching it and there are a few websites that actually walk you through on how to convert it to Boost and have the Browser and text work. Just look up Boostberry or 8350i Boost service books.

Some of the older sim cards can cause some issues but if you have a newer sim it isn’t likely, THe main thing causing you not to be able to browse thge internet or send sms txt messages is the service books.

I have THe solution to your problems. You can to have a fully working Nextel Blackberry 7100i, 7520i or 8350i on Boost Mobile. My kit includes a step by step guide & working servicebooks allowing you to get full use of your BoostBerry without using any workarounds.

With my kit you’ll be able to send & recieve SMS & MMS text messages as well as browse the web & use your phone as a GPS device. You can also use GPS programs such as nav4all & google maps.

alright everyone foirst and foremost if you have the blackberry curve nextel 8350i you can absolutely text with it isf you install a file that someone on ebay is selling for like 8 buck. search convert blackerry 8350i. This works 100% and the person helps you install if you get stuck. i guess it works for the 7100i too.

Hello,

I have the old W385 Motorola for Boost, and I’m looking too into buying the Blackberry 8350i phone. How can I do this if the phone I have now dosen’t have a sim card? I want to keep Boost. I’ve seen the new phone the Clutch they have for Boost, and I am not impressed! Screen is to small!

am having a problem installing opera mini to my bb 8350 can someone please help?

How about doing it for FREE yourself? You can at BoostRocks.com !

alguien me puede ayudar tengo blackberry 8350i sim bosst
per my text no trabajan no internet la rasson que escribo
espanol no soy bueno con ingles

To my understanding the text or the website service will not work until they make it compatible. My friend just started recieving calls on his phone so they are moving pretty slow, he had the phone since february. I guess their waiting on a contract to be signed.

I HAVE THE MOTOROLA CLUTCH AND QUITE FRANKLY I BELIEVE THERE IS A CONSPIRACY ABOUT LIMITING DATA USAGE WITH THEIR STUPID PRIMITIVE AND SLOW BROWSERS I DONT USE INTERNET ON MY PHONE CUZ IT SUCKS WITH A BLACKBERRY PEOPLE WOULD HAVE SO MUCH MORE TRAFFIC OF DATA AND I THINK BOOST DOES NOT WANT THAT ITS A SHAME CUZ I LOVE BOOST THEIR SIGNAL STRENGHT IS GREAT AND IM AN EX VERIZON CUSTOMER

I am using the blackberry 7520 on boost. I ordered the phone from ebay and did all of the workarounds myself. It look a few days of surfing the web to find the workarounds. Go to www.crackberry.com. The post is listed for workarounds and service books.

OK, your all going to love me. I have found a way to make the 8350I work completely.. TXT, MMS, Native Browser, EVERYTHING !!!!!

To start you need to download this link for the service books.

1) ENABLE SERVICE BOOK COMPLETE BACKUP / OVER WRITE / RESTORE on the Device, like this:

a) On your device, go to Options -> Advanced Options -> Service Books hold Alt and hit {S}{B}{E}{B} let go of alt and it should show a message about how legacy service books are enabled.

2) BACKUP EXISTING SERVICE BOOKS

a) Hook up the phone to the laptop

b) Open Blackberry Desktop Manager -> Backup/Restore -> Advanced

i) On the right side, scroll down to Service Books, then press the

ii) Click on Save, and save them some place just in case

3) WRITE NEW SERVICE BOOKS TO DEVICE

a) First, clear your service books by scrolling down on the right side, high light Service Books, then press Clear

b) Check your device now (Options -> Advance Options -> Service Books)

i) If there is anything left besides something that mentions TCP/IP or Browser, delete those also

c) Open BB DM, go to Backup/Restore -> Advanced -> Left Window -> File -> Open -> select the service book file you downloaded.

d) Disconnect phone from Computer.

e) Go to Options -> Advanced Options -> Host Routing Table -> BB Menu key -> Register

f) go to advanced settings -> browser and change the hot spot to browser.

i) Now your browser should be enabled, along with this, you should also be able to send/receive MMS. Now would be an okay time to test this.

g) If you do not get the browser option restart and try again.

If you want to add any other apps at that point, go ahead and do it. I want some KUDOS FOR THIS ONE.. I HAVE AN OFFICIAL BOOSTBERRY !!!!

Does the bb messenger work on this? Everything else works for me just not the messenger

I wanna buy a Nextel BB from e-bay, is there anyone out there that is 100% sure they can make all of the BB features work before I buy a paperweight.

Hey guys, I’m not too concerned with 3rd party apps working but I would like to know if there’s a way to get maps to work. That’s the only application that isn’t working on my 8350i on boost mobile.
Thanks.

What model phone is the best for the boost $50 plan? Coz currently I am using the i290?

HEY I WANT THIS PHONE BUT IF YOU CANT TEXT ON IT THEM WHAT IS THE POINT???
ITS A PHONE YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TEXT!!!!!!!

I’m not sure if anyone has gotten to this yet. I was going to read through all the confusion. I have a 8350i on Boost and everything works (besides GPS which is what i’m searching for now). Rather than buy a cd, pay someone, or pull your hair out…go crackberry forums and it has some information there.

Hi, I just bought a blackberry 8350i and connectted it with Boost. Since day one, I am having problems with texting. They take forever to send or receive. Does anyone have this issue???? HELP !!!!

HAVE YOU GUYS HEARD OF BOOSTBERRY. YOU’ALL SHOULD CHECK IT OUT.

i guarantee to be able to get any blackberry phone with nextel logo to text browser and so much more. everything is available at my site boostberryconvert.com Or email me boostberryconvert@gmail.com

Have you all checked out Boost’s new Motorola I465. It’s
a great little phone. The BB’s little brother. Having
said that, I’ll be glad when Boost gets a better range of
phones.

Go Houston Texans ..
