The phone is pricey, but I can shave about $80 off getting it (new) off of eBay. Then I look into the phone's capabilities. "Houston, we have a problem..."

According to the Boost forum on HowardForums, it seems the phone's Bluetooth stack is crippled so that only 200 KB of information can be transmitted at a time.

Too bad, Boost just lost a perspective customer unless someone can confirm that the 200 KB limit is erroneous.


why bluetooth just hook it straight up and hide it .....
