Cricket to Launch Android Phone

[theresanangelatmytable]

I was one of the stupid people who purchased the blackberry storm when it first came out. I find it hard to believe that a phone could be any worse than that.

it sucks because when you move the Zio to muche for some reason y senRAB you back to the home screen.

Android 1.6 is a tremendous disappointment.

i played with the zio yesterday it was not that bad seeing that its kyocera it has two market places one regular android and one cricket
with the launch of 4g from bigger companies cricket has gone uncap which means faster speed customers with cricket pda's and flash
pda's will have the position for the data package for 10 to 15 downside to zio is that the screen is plastic not glass so will break easy
most apps like qik or tikl need 4g speed anyway even on sprint or verizon 3g is just not fast enough and if you do get it to work the lag in it makes you not want to use unless you are on wifi

I can second the release date as I was in a Cricket store today (paying for 3 months, and getting the 4th for free ) and i asked the manager about the Droid release date and he told me August 3rd. He also mentioned the BB was coming on the 13th of August.

Well you can't compare OFFICIAL service with HACKED service.. Officially you CANNOT use Sprint phones on Boost, and even UN-officially many phones will NOT work (Evo, Hero, Pixi, Pre, Moment) to name a few, so it's not really apples to apples. Heck you can use MANY sprint phones on Cricket too (non AWS areas) with Cricket's blessing ! !

There are always insurance replacement droiRAB for sale here in Austin for a couple hundred. There are some that are a few months old for less.

Of course, this is going off of the word of who is selling the phone, I know. This is one of the reasons why i'd even consider the Zio, I can buy it brand new and baby it.

500mhz proccesor still has me thinking if I should get it or not.

This phone will definitely be getting Android 2.1 very quickly. I'm willing to make a big PayPal bet about it if I have any takers.

We'll send all the money to an admin for holding and then when I'm right, the admin will send the money to me. It'll be wicked sweet.

This is a joke. Don't ban me.
This phone getting 2.1 with quickness is not a joke.

I know Ive been hearing the same thing as far as Sep. Goes But with cricket who knows :befuddled: Can We get a link to the Zio's Facebook? Now Hopefully there is enough of a following that we can get some root action and some sweet stable rom's :clapping:
