Please tell me if I buy the nextel 8350i if it will work with boost mobile. I have read too many different answers and I am not sure if it will work. Please help.

Now, I’ve had this phone for over three months. It’s made with really cheap plastic and the back cover comes off very easily. Not only that, I have to remove battery ever two days on average to reset the phone. The quality of RIM has gone down…no wonder their profit has gone up. This blackberry is made for business and it should be rugged and high quality. Shame on RIM for putting out such a shitty product. Shame on me for using Nextel…

At first I didn’t understand the lack of camera (although I definitely won’t miss it), but now it makes a little more sense. Thanks for the short review. I can’t wait to try this new BB, hopefully some of the problems I’ve encountered with wifi will be solved.

@ Mike

Telus IS a CDMA carrier but they own and operate “Mike” which is their IDEN Network. They also commonly sell all the “Mike” phone in the Telus stores.

umm just get the battery cover that covers the camera from cnn.cn or ebay and voila you have a no camera version 8350i

Fail. Again. The 8350i from Telus is on the MIKE network, which is iDEN.

If you guys (and most bloggers today) had A Clue… if… if you had a fundamental clue about punctuation… if only… you’d understand that the headline is invalid and should read “No-Camera Version”. The way it reads now means “there is currently no version of the BlackBerry 8350i available from Sprint which includes a camera”.

@ MrRisto

oh, sorry I don’t know the specifics but here in Canada the 8350i is sold by Telus which is a CDMA carrier

@ Mike this is iDEN not CDMA. Just get this phone (camera version) and use it with Boost Mobile.

Perfect for my job where camera phones aren’t permitted.

I really am not sure the signifigance of having a device with no camera can’t you remove the picture taking capability of any Blackberry with the BES server.

Nextel is iDen dipshit.

FAIL!

Try again.

Go buy one today and spend 4 hours on the phone with Sprint / Nextel support wondering why you can’t get your email setup on the BIS. HIYO!

BTW…that’s one jacked up looking back. I am still surprised that no company hasn’t just started make camera-holed-less battery covers.
