What phones are good to unlock and use with Boost mobile?

Question by :) : What phones are good to unlock and use with Boost mobile?
I’m tired of the quality of the pictures on my phone i have for boost unlimited plan. I recently found out that they now have boost unlimited with a sim card and was wondering if i can use that sim card in another unlocked phone. I if you have any info. can you please help.

Best answer:

Answer by ddominic
The only phones that will work on Boost Mobile are the Nextel phones. Since Boost Mobile works off of Nextel IDEN network they are incompatible with any A T&T and T-Mobile cell phones.

A T&T and T-Mobile uses GSM network but also use sim cards as well. But their network is different then IDEN network from Boost Mobile. Even if you unlock any cell phone from from A T&T and or T-Mobile it won’t work with the IDEN network.

Why don’t american mobile carriers pick up better cell phones?

Question by mayerj72: Why don’t american mobile carriers pick up better cell phones?
I looked online and brands such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorolla etc. sell really nice models in other parts of the world. Yet in America these phones are not on the market. We still have camera phones here with 1.3 to 2 megapixels, whereas for most phones worldwide 5 megapixels is already the standard. I was told not too long ago that these phones are not available here since the carriers do not pick them up. But why don’t they pick them up?

Answer by erichau728
America phone market isn’t as demanding… Also most phones are designed for Europe/Asia… They are mostly tri-band with 900 band, not he 850… 850 is america

The k790a is a 3.2 mpix for america… It’s an american version of the k800i… This came to Rogers in canada, not sure about AT&T
