Boost Mobile does a fine enough job advertising its $50 monthly unlimited plan, but how’s about the phone selection? If you’re a fan of flips, Motorola has a new duo headed to the aforesaid operator next month. First up is the Rambler (shown right), which boasts a full QWERTY keypad, integrated 1.3 megapixel camera with video capture, stereo Bluetooth, IM / email capability and inbuilt GPS. The Bali, on the other hand, rocks a more traditional input surface along with an MP3 player, external touch controls and a microSD slot. Both handsets will go on sale August 11th, with the Rambler running $99.99 and the Bali $149.99. Who said Boost never gave you more (keys) for less (dough)?

Without naming names, Motorola’s Canadian outpost dropped some teasers today that versions of all three of its midrange Blur-powered Android handsets for GSM networks — the Backflip, DEXT, and Quench — will be coming to the country in the first half of 2010. What’s more, they’ll be hitting “all three national wireless carriers” — a little bit of a slap for Mobilicity and WIND, yes, but generally good news for the overwhelming majority of subscribers. Perhaps the most engaging attention bit in this place is that they’ve called out the DEXT by name, continuing Moto’s tradition of going with European branding over American for its Canadian launches, a trend started by Telus’ Milestone. We don’t yet know which carrier will get which phone, what they’ll retail for, or precisely when they’ll be on shelves, but needless to say, the Google-powered situation north of the border just got a whole lot prettier.
