The BlackBerry Style 9670 was a pretty interesting device that had potential but sort of lost most of its luster as a Sprint only exclusive. According to a tip MobileCrunch received Boost will start offering the BlackBerry Style 9670 on their prepaid plans this month which is a nice bump from the previous 8530. The Style has BlackBerry OS 6 with its WebKit browser which is a big update along with a 5MP camera and huge clamshell double screen design.
Rumor has the price of the device at $199 in the captured marketing material but in Best Buys inventory system it is showing as $280. Hopefully it launches at the $199 price point. Let us know if you are going to pick one up.

I have a friend in Cananda who just got one for her (w/a justin beiber sticker for it… Lmao) it’s actually a really cute and fast phone… Like a mini bold.. I was suprised by it infact… I hate clams, but the style has just that… And beautiful keyboard… Not on my agenda, we all know where I”l be… Cuddled up in a hammock sippin’ lemonade (or coco depending on what RIM classifies as summer) lol w/my Dakota <3 <3

It would be nice if Virgin Mobile (the other Sprint pre-pay carrier) got this or a 9650. Then it would be a berry worth getting. The current 8530 just ain’t got “it”. lol

Well thats a nice upgrade for boost mobile customers and it would be really great to launch for $199 and not $280 wouldn’t want it to gather dust in the store.

I hope this means that it will show up in the Virgin Mobile line up soon.
These CDMA prepaid services seem to follow each other that.
In any case, I hope that I don’t have a long wait. I have the VM BB 8530. But I’d like some STYLE.
