Boost Mobile to boost iDEN lineup, calling it quits with CDMA

Boost Mobile, Sprint (NYSE: S)’s more affordable pre-paid offering famous for marketing its service to the the hip-hop generation, has announced that it will be shifting its focus to building an impressive roster of iDEN devices. Sprint is committed to reinvigorating their iDEN-based offerings recently, and Boost Mobile will apparently benefit alongside the Nextel network.

According to Boost Mobile spokesperson Tatum Hawkins, “Boost Mobile will still operate, support and service its CDMA-related products, but it will no longer promote them. If customers wish to sign up for CDMA-based services, they may still do so. However, Boost will no longer create new CDMA products and/or services, nor will it add new CDMA phones to its roster of devices.”

There you have it, folks. Boost Mobile will be all about the iDEN going forward. Now, let’s hope future iDEN devices don’t look like this.
