Boost Mobile to launch Samsung Galaxy Prevail in April

Wireless carrier Boost Mobile, a Sprint subsidiary, is gearing up for the launch of a new mobile phone from Samsung sometime in April, if the latest reports on the matter are to be believed.

Apparently, the wireless carrier is set to unveil the new device come April 5th, and there are great chances that the handset would sport the name of Samsung Galaxy Prevail.

Boost Mobile and Samsung reportedly set a press conference in New York City for the aforementioned date, and rumor has it that the said device would be the main character at the event.

No official confirmation on this emerged for the time being, but various reports, coming from different sources, apparently familiar with the matter, suggest that Boost and Samsung would indeed be on their way to making that announced.

Unfortunately, exact details on the availability of this device lack at the moment, though they might all be unveiled in less than two weeks from now.

Specific info on the specifications list of the new Samsung Galaxy Prevail was not unveiled either, though rumor has it that this device might rung under Google's Android 2.2 Froyo operating system.

Moreover, it has been suggested that the mobile phone would include a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper on the back when released, and that it would also sport a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space.

Undoubtedly, the handset would also come with the usual connectivity capabilities, a touchscreen display, and with the whole range of sensors that today's smartphones pack inside.

As for the price tag it might feature, word on the street is that it could go for around $250, but confirmation on this still has to emerge.

All in all, it appears that Samsung and Boost Mobile might soon bring a pretty appealing device to shelves, while making it available at an affordable price tag.

We'll take the info on Samsung Galaxy Prevail with a grain of salt for the time being, especially since some suggest that Boost Might actually launch the Galaxy Pro, but we'll be looking for confirmation on it, so stay tuned to learn more on the matter.

I called Boost about an unrelated issue. The customer service rep mentioned the phone, but I did not ask for a lot of the specs since I assumed it was already on the market. The rep told me it would be on the 2.2 version of the Android system, and would be available for $149 on April 18, 2011. The price is very competitive considering the i1 uses the 1.2 version and is $299. I wish I knew if it was a touchscreen, slide, or blackberry type setup.

talked to a rep yesterday on the phone with boost, she told me that the phone would be available on april 18, and that they would be priced at 149 dollars. Thats not a rumor that is fact, it will be unveiled on apr 5. So you can announce what ever you want, but that came from Boost not me.

Not a 3.2mp camera, but a 2.0mp camera. The touchscreen is a 3.2". Also, the Samsung Seek is $149.00, and the Prevail is $179.00
