MacinJosh Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Kind of a shame. Sprint officially announced this phone one month ago. Being it is a good looking and solid device, I think it would go over quite well if customers could couple it with the $100 20 Gig Family Share plan they are offering now. I think so too. I sure hope the initial rumor I heard isn't true that it will be available around the holidays. It would be a waste of an announcement.

jamesinclair Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 It just doesnt make sense. Its not like theyre trying to stockpile millions of the things for a massive launch. It should be a reasonable, but slow seller. No one is going to line up over night for this. Every day they wait they get closer to the Nexus 5.1 which will probably blow the specs away at a competetive price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that the next Nexus will snake out too many sales. And I think release could be sooner than I originally thought. But I'm sure that this phone will still sell decently.

Fraydog Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Eh, it's a midrange phone. A nice midrange phone, but a midrange phone nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW1973 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Yes, as a midrange it is nice. As a phone for those who dont need great spec 2 enjoy it, wonderful. For me, a kids phone & inexpensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW1973 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 BC7, didn't member the news clip, thus upon seeing the Boost branding felt that maybe it was only meant 4 prepaid. Like the Moto G2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 It was said on multiple websites that sprint, boost & virgin mobile will all get the handset... but we are used to companies stating when it will be available once they announce it. And I have been excited that there will be cool decent phones at reasonable prices, as this will put pressure on all the other phone manufacturers. But maybe since it's Sharp's first US bound phone in quite some time, maybe they're having supply chain or customs issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
