Xprt for Boost Mobile.

I ordered mine, $80 total because of the 25off coupon code. Same day delivery so I should get it later today.
 
If you are planning on buying this phone, Do it quickly. They are telling us once our current inventory is depleted, This phone will be discontinued. It's why they never sold any "Boost Mobile" branded ones.

They are just depleting the Sprint inventory. That's what I've been told via my superiors.

I can't verify this is fact but I thought I'd pass it on just in case. =]

Glad I finally decide to switch today... XPRT should be here tomorrow :D
 
Mine came with a defective speaker =/ now I have to return it. sigh what a dissapointment. and the keyboard is wonderful!
 
A known bug I thought I'd mention is that the keyboard won't light up in the dark. I've had more than a few customers complain about that.

Also the keyboard force closes when you haven't got much RAM free. Always back out of/close programs you aren't using.

Having had mine a month now, I can confirm that.

Sometimes the keyboard and haptic keys light up, and sometimes they don't, though I have found its not as big of a problem if you don't turn on "automatic brightness" in the backlight settings. I found that setting to keep the screen too dim anyway.
 
Just got my phone :) working fine, I am a happy camper. Can't wait until someone roots the boost version. Dammit I wish I knew what others knew so I can root myself.
 
The XPRT worked perfect for me in the first week or two. The speed is great, very responsive when it wants to be. The keyboard has a great feel but will double up letters and spaces sometimes when typing, which gets annoying. Afterward, I began to get crash errors for a Motorola service, which would close some apps. More recently, a bunch of my standard apps (phone, browser, text messaging, email) has been non-responsive and asked me to force-close the app. It is nice to not see the clutter of the carrier's add-ons as seen on most phones, but I believe the Motorola add-ons are killing the performance. I may just sell it and get the Kyocera Hydro - I really want an ice cream sandwich.
 
I bought my XPRT in July, and it's been an ok phone. My previous phone was an Evo, and it's not even worth trying to compare the two. For what it is, I'm happy with it. I'd really love to root it, though!

As far as the keyboard stuff, I have had problems twice. Both times, memory wasn't the issue, rebooting it wouldn't help. No matter what app I was in, once I got a few characters into what I was typing, it would FC the app, every time. The first time was shortly after I bought it, and my initial way around it was to use voice recognition to type stuff in, but that was way too annoying for a long term fix. I ended up messing with settings in 'Language & keyboard', and something I did (not sure, though) fixed it for a couple of months, before it happened again. This time, I couldn't figure out what I had done before, so I ended up installing SwiftKey 3, and that seems to have taken care of it. So, anyone else with the problem may want to consider installing a keyboard app. (Which seems so dumb when you have a physical keyboard!)

Really want to root it, though!

I bought my motorola xprt sometime in June when it was released and after about two months, i got the same issue with the keyboard locking up/being non responsive and showing the "force-close app" error message. i had to take it to the Boost mobile office and do the hard reset twice in 4 months since it happened twice. it happened again yesterday, so i was reading another forum and someone had figured out 2 other ways to fix it other than doing the factory reset!!!! i did both and the keyboard and all the related apps like text, browser...etc are working fine :)
Method 1: go to settings,language and keyboards,multi-touch keyboard,scroll down to next word prediction and uncheck
Method 2: go to settings,applications,manage apps,all,scroll to multitouch keyboard,clear
Hope this helps.
