Thanks Monster. Very informative. Quite a bit more than I thought. Both are good choices but the S3 is def. a bigger powerhouse.

A store like 15 min. away from me has them. I was gonna get one the other day but the girl in the store told me they are gonna drop the blue one in like a month or so. I'm waiting.

I went to best buys, walmart, and radio shack. Didn't even have a spot on the racks for them

I had browsed all my local stores and couldn't find one. I walked into the oldest Boost store around here and bam, they had one on display on the wall and at the counter.

i was going to go to one too but there is only one in the area and it was on the opposite side of town than all the other stores that would also sell them. I didnt want to drive that extra hour during rush hour.

I've been seeing the S2 in a lot of boost stores now. Seems like they are finally getting the stock out.
I am trying to find the article i saw the other day. Supposedly LG has a phone in the pipeline with a quad-core processor and 13mp camera. No carriers have been listed for it as of yet, but one can dream.

The S2 is a really great phone i like it so far it took my awhile to Root it and put a rom on it *wipes head* but i miss my Marquee tho
They're charging out the ass for it. Y did it take so long to root? I just had to flash a zip in the stock recovery on the 3

I'm interested in getting the s2 for boost but I'm hesitant since the forums on here for that phone don't seem that active, even compared to this one
where did you find roms for the phone?

The phone is sprints samsung galaxy epic 4g touch and there is a great community over at xda even there is cm10 already available for it and you can install on the boost version and there is a flashable zip to fix mms already over the section of the samsung galaxy sii for boost mobile here in the forums,

Galaxy S2 (Boost Mobile) - All Things Root - Android Forums
Yes they have a jellybean already
i had it but went back to stock because jellybean kills the battery you can also check out xda forumsThe only phone on Boost worth "upgrading" to is the S2. None of the other new phones are better than the Marquee except for the fact they come with stock ICS. Just my opinion. If I didn't use 10GB+ of data every month i'd switch to ST. But they'd hate my data consumption lol.

Maybe you all should get the evo and come to our community (; we need some love. We definitely need dev support we only have a few that are actually active now to tell the truth but hey you never know , when I got the OV a few years ago it was dead but look at it now.

Haha glad to see you posting other than your cm9 thread. I just would like to thank you for your help with making me love my little OV I used to think I was the stuff after I put ics on that phone, I'd show my mom where I helped find a bug in your Rom that wasn't discovered yet (I'm 15, then I was 14. And then the Rom was still young itself) and thought I was really doing something. Haha keep up the good work. I greatly appreciate what you've done. I'm now using an evo for boost now, and I had the thought earlier today to root the Optimus that I've got laying in my dresser to test new builds and the new roms. I just may do that
