It’s earning eco cred with its lower-impact packaging and build, but tree huggers aren’t the only ones who will eye the Samsung Replenish for Boost Mobile.
Budget-followers will also gravitate toward Boost’s first smartphone priced at about a hundred bucks, a rock-bottom cost for a market where prepaid smartphones typically cost between $200 and $300.
The Android 2.3 Gingerbread device has a candy bar shape that supports a full QWERTY keyboard. It also has a 2.8-inch touch screen and a 2-megapixel camera with video capture, among the other Android goodies like access to Google’s apps and services.
The Replenish, which was initially released last spring for Sprint, also hosts Mobile ID, the offshoot of Sprint ID that offers packs of thematic apps, wallpaper, and so on to install on your phone in one fell swoop.
The Replenish becomes available for Boost on January 16, for $99.99.
