Well ... it looks like I've been had! I have researched the No Contract Unlimited Plan Boost Mobile service for some time now, and was LURED in with their 50 dollar a month mega goodie package.
Today I bought a Motorola I9 that promised quite a bit, but delivered crap!
What sounded simple and easy was not quite how I would describe the set-up either. Hours were wasted on line and talking with customer support.
Here are my grades for the Motorola I9 with Boost Mobile.
Web Browser: F
Camera: D+
Coverage areas: D
Ease of text messaging: F
Ability to send text and pictures: F
Phone clarity: B+
I guess the whole point of an unlimited service is being able to USE THAT SERVICE. The phone gets returned, but the 50 dollars for Boost Mobile is not refundable. Boost this Boost Mobile - thpppthhhh

Hi! I'm well, how are you doing? I quess, going on this post that the poo has hit the fan concerning this phone.
Talking about cell phones, I was contemplating getting a iPhone. I think there are one or two applications that may come in handy for blogging on the run.
For this post, I'll give you a A+ for the review!
Take Care,
Peter
Bummer! That's a real shame.
"Rat chow!" says it all

***** dashing over to Speedster *****
((((((HUG!!!)))))
***running like mad*****
I foe one do not need all those fancy "toys' in a phone.all I want to do is dial a number and talk to the person that I want to.I dont need the texting that is what email or snail mail is for.
too bad honey...sending a huge hug
Long Distance! Call me, I'm not in Norway, but in Sweden this weekend :-)
Aw..sorry to hear this, Speedy.
Fie, fie and curses be upon the heads of the deceiving Motorola I9 with Boost Mobile folks.
*Daisy glaring and shaking her fist at them.*
Hugs to you, Speedy. With so many plans and services and types of phones available these days, I don't know how anybody can ever make the right decision about these things. Hope you can figure out what to get that works best for you.
Hey Speedy! Just wanted to say hello and that I was sorry I missed your birthday. The real one. Hope it was wonderful. Sorry about this crappy phone service too. Oh yeah, and thanks a lot. My cats want food from that pet deli now. ;)
I think we should be able to try a phone and service before we sign on the line. I got messed over by Cingular the same way.
dats why I have a rotary :D
Motorola is stooooooooooooooooopif!
AND stooooooopiD!!!!
Sorry you got ripped off!
It's just mean (all the fine print)
when you go to use something...do you remember the good old days when what you read was in fact true...I'm still trying to use my multi-purpose phone. At least it does ring when someone is trying to reach me!!!
Ugh, sorry about the phone experience. My hubby loves his iphone. Even talked my father and brother into getting one, he likes it so much. Good luck to you!
As you well know, I hate to have to learn new softwares and technology. ;) I like my phone and cell plan and while I know there are goodies out there, learning them is just way too much stress for me.
Oh my gosh, I was thinking of getting this!!
Thanks for the review Speedy!
Now, I know to keep looking.
