Looks like the flashing to boost biz is screwed, but great news for those that want a better line up.

I have some materials that we are shipping out to stores to prove it, pm me if you are interested. Just wanted to spread the word so people dont waste their time flashing their phones to boost.

Well I doubt flashing will bw affected majorly. A lot of people who flash phones don't use phones with a good ESN, they use a bad esn phone. :p

they unofficially allow a lot of phones now but for some reason not all. I REALLY want to add one of those ruggedized kyocera jobbies to my dad's account (he beats the crap out of his hardware :)

Yes a lot of them do, however, as an experienced flasher myself, I have flashed more active Sprint handsets than those with bad esns. It is the same reason why we people requesting a service like that has gone down so much. In the several stores I oversee, people use to come in everyday and ask for their phones to be flashed. But, since the Evo Design and Galaxy S2 released, we see maybe 1 person a week.

Hey, is there any chance that they will also let you start using Boost phones on Sprint? Kyocera Rise specifically.

what do you mean 2009? will people be able to activate S2 S3 phones or not ? I know both the S2 and S3 are compatible with boost because I use them BOTH on boost (and boost even sells the S2 now)

So, got more information. They are going to roll it out with 15 current handsets and then progressively migrate the rest of the line up into compatibility with Boost. I am guessing they want to do some kind of soft-rollout to ensure that it goes smoothly. We'll see. As far as the material is concerned, I believe they are going to change the tearpads and window vinyls to reflect more current handsets. As far as specific information on what phones, I havent seen the list yet.

the flier shows off some old devices, and the tiny text at the bottom says select devices, ergo i dont expect people buying a brand new sgs3 skipping sprint without paying the etf and jumping to boost are gunan be welcomed much.

i never said they could/wouldnt work on there but the advertisement is imply straight out of teh box works and shows phones not many would care to want to use after such a long time.
