Boost Mobile launches Motorola i1 on June 20

Since the Android-powered i1 was originally announced for Sprint's Direct Connect service, you might've assumed that it'd be the first to get a hard launch date -- but subsidiary Boost Mobile is breaking that news first for some reason with the announcement today that the phone is coming June 20 in Boost retail stores plus Bust Buy locations. Pricing hasn't been announced, but Best Buy had previously teased it for $350, so we wouldn't expect this to be a cheap purchase; then again, you've gotta remember that it's coming at you contract-free. Not like you'll be unlocking it and taking it to another iDEN network either way, right?

Im surprised this isnt coming out to virgin mobile. didnt sprint say they were revamping their prepaid services? virgin was going to be for its feature phones and smart phone users since it utalizes its sprint network and boost was for basic phones?

It's actually surprising that the Kyocera Zio is also coming to Boost Mobile. I don't see any android handsets coming to Virgin unless they strike a deal with HTC.
