Mobile Phone News

You won’t find any mention of the Android-powered Motorola i1 on Boost Mobile’s site just yet, but the phone — the very first to run Android for iDEN networks — looks destined for Sprint’s prepaid brand at this time that Best Buy has fessed up to it. It really doesn’t come as any surprise since we already knew the i1 would be launching on Sprint’s Direct Connect service, and it seems rather silly for those guys not to get as much use out of the phone as they can, particularly considering that it’s arguably the most exciting iDEN handset ever made. That’s not saying much, we know… but you know what we mean. at this time, the question is: who’s plan to pay $349.99 for it with no commitment?

So there’s a rather engaging attention thread going down over in Phandroid’s forums that suggests we’ll finally see a launch of the hotly-anticipated HTC Incredible for Verizon later this month — the 25th, to be exact. That makes sense and we can totally believe it — particularly considering that it’s a Sunday, Verizon’s traditional launch day — and it’s further corroborated by a corporate email sent around to Verizon employees today implying that “new devices [are] launching really soon.” There’s a lot of interpretation you could do in this place; we don’t know what “Code Name: 6″ on the rocket-propelled cardboard box means, for example, but it’s pretty safe to argue that the Incredible will factor prominently into this campaign. About time, right?
