How long until the S 4 comes to Boost Mobile?

[RogerAgness]

I am paying Verizon $77/month for a Samsung stupidphone, now out of contract. (Yes, stupid of ME, I know.) Careful research has led me to decide on the S III from Boost Mobile, but now that the S 5 was just announced for mid-April, I am wondering how long it will be until the S 4 is released for Boost Mobile?

• If it will be six months to a year, I will go ahead and get the S III (at Best Buy for $349, and the first six months for $35/month).
• If it will be two to three months, I will wait and get the S 4, hopefully at a price point near the $349. (I want the S4, not the S5.)

What do YOU think?

I don't know if and when the S4 will be available but I do know the S3 was $399 when it first came out for Boost so I wouldn't expect it to be any cheaper than that.

As of right now it is expected for a May or June launch. Release date has not been set yet, but there is confirmation that Boost will be getting the S4 shortly after the S5 is released. As for price, it will not be $349 or $399. At the moment it is looking like $449.

From what I remember Boost often gets a phone after the next version of it is released, so with the Galaxy S5 coming in April, a May or June date is possible.
