Spoke to a boost rep-she verified the 8530 will be released sometime this month...

I hope this is true, as Boost Mobile's BB line was getting dry.
Although, I don't see why people don't just purchase a Virgin Mobile 8530 and take their cheaper plan. They use the same towers anyways?

I replied why would Boost do this--when Virgin Mobile all ready haves this BB-her reply was they wanted it out before xmas- and yes it's true....

It makes sense, the 93xx series is being released by everyone, 85xx is end of life cycle. And boost sells discontinued blackberries.

I'm intrigued to see their pricing strategy.

You right 8530 is another BB end of life cycle-I believe that is why boost drop the price on 8330-for room for the 8530- It wouldn't surprise me if boost sold it close to $250.00 ....
