Best Buy Black Friday: Boost Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II 4G No-Contract Smartphone (White) $299.99

Just doing a comparison with T-Mobile's GSII from Walmart.

T-Mobile is HSPA+ which has equal download speeds and faster upload speeds than Boost/Sprint WiMax 4G.

T-Mobile wins.

Walmart has been offering it for $300 for two months. Who knows if BF will be even cheaper.

Tie or maybe T-Mobile wins.

T-Mobile is GSM and works in almost any country. I have used mine in at least a dozen countries without even changing the SIM card or reprogramming. CDMA is mainly USA and Canada

T-Mobile wins

T-Mobile offers $30 per month for 100 minutes, and unlimited text and wifi. If you are in a 4G area, you can get free VOIP calls with Vonage that makes it essentially unlimited talk. You can also get unlimited everything for $50 per month. Boost is $55 per month for unlimited everything.

T-Mobile wins

In sum, Boost BF deal is not a deal.

shrinkage with boost mobile, my plan is now $40 a month for unlimited talk, text and data. It will drop to $35 a month in a couple of months

The issue with Tmo unlimited everything for $50 is you only get 200MB at 4G speeds. That's a major thumbs down. With Boost you get 2.5 GB. Plus boost has shrinkage plan so you could end up paying $40 for unlimited everything with an android phone.

I think the SGII for $300 at boost mobile will be the cheapest its been and a good deal. The only question is...Is boostmobile.com having its own black friday deals....like 25% off phones or even better 50% off phone then they would really sell SGII phones.

T-Mobile has the worst overall reception as compared to the other large carriers, and The T-Mobile offer isn't for unlimited voice/data like Boost. I, like another guy on this thread, got the "shrink plan" deal before the $5 android increase and will be paying $35 (no tax) in a couple of months for unlimited 4G service. I went from Verizon (so I know good reception) to Boost (Sprint) over a year ago, and have had exactly 1 dropped call. For guys like me, the BB deal is good. Not great, but good. I was actually hoping the HTC Evo Design 4G would drop below $200 to a BF deal of $179...that's the deal I'm looking for...

the boost shrinkage will not go down to 35 for a new android phone even if you are at 35 NOW !! according to the boost store near me, he said , that price {35} is only for my present prevail phone which was bought . over a year ago,, wish it wasnt true,,

Well, I spoke to a company rep over the phone 2 weeks ago and I get a different response. The $35 shrink stays with me as long as I don't interrupt service. I don't believe your local store is giving you accurate info. Plans don't stay with the phone, never have even with traditional plans, plans stay with the customer. It's the "grandfather" clause that every cell phone company has always followed.

I work for Sprint Prepaid Group. The person at the Boost Mobile store is absolutely correct. The rep is wrong.
If you stay with the current Prevail at the $35 monthly price plan or switch to another Prevail, then your plan will stay the same - $35 (the grandfathered plan). If you change the Prevail to ANY other android phone (such as the Samsung Galaxy SII), then the plan will go to $40 Android at the NEXT billing cycle date. At the time of handset swap, no additional payment needs to be made. $40 is the lowest plan all New Androids can go with shrinkage, and it has been this way since last year when the ZTE Warp came out.
