Boost boosts the Motorola KRZR

Boost Mobile has launched Motorola's KRZR K1m this week, and while its freshness leaves something to be desired, the glossy black flip is instantly propelled to the very top rung of Boost's non-iDEN food chain above the w385 and c290, both of which also hail from Moto. The scrappy, youth-oriented Sprint division is using the K1m's launch to highlight Unlimited by Boost, its regional calling plan that is currently available in 13 states -- including the lovely islands of Hawaii. The Boost-ified MOTOKRZR is available now for $249.99, so get in on the circa-2006 action while the getting's good; heck, if you're really clever about it, you might even be able to use it as an excuse to move to Oahu.

THe Krzr looking w385 looks the same as this and it goes for 129.99 with a month free of service. Please Boost, don't raise prices on Glossy screens alone.

James...

Your comment regarding direct criticism for "ghetto african-americans" clearly shows you are very ignorant & racist. I can tell your one of those thick-headed guys who don't think before they speak. You may need it beaten into you.

African-Americans are NOT the only race listening to rap & hip-hop. This type of music is widely inspired from a broad community of races.

His comment has been removed and he's been banned. Obviously, we have a zero-tolerance policy for that.

WOW! Now, if I re-up my contract with ATT thru wirefly dot com, I can get a pretty blue KRZR for free! Nice try Boost, but I'll stick with ATT and my global GSM service, 3g, edge etc...
