You do know that samsung's best selling phone in the US was the galaxy prevail on boost. more than 2 million of them were sold.

(citation needed) both on the number of phones, and best-selling attribute. I call total BS on this.

Here's a counter-citation: 4.1 million Galaxy S IIs were sold by Samsung: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...sales-revealed

You do know that samsung's best selling phone in the US was the galaxy prevail on boost. more than 2 million of them were sold. So, we can expect that samsung will do something special for the prepaid. Chances are they might release the reverb and say exclusive for prepaid or they give the note or s3.

Hmm... I didn't know that. Very surprising. It doesn't change my expectations though. I just don't want to be disappointed. I can't wait to see what happens!

I don't have a link, but I do remember seeing the prevail listed as one of Sammy's best sellers. Sales figures from Sammy and Apple came out in the past week or so as a result of this Apple patent suit case.

edit: I'm not sure of the prevail is sold on more than one US carrier and I think the sales figures quoted were for the US since it is a US patent case.

As you may notice that the Prevail is the single best selling phone. While there's multiple models of the SII.

In that case we might se a renamed SII on Virgin mobiel and another Samsung entry level Android on Boost Mobile. If it's worked once before, they may be seeking to replicate their Prevail success with an upgrade to the original Prevail.

Some people have been hoping for a Galaxy Note, but there's no proof or evidence that it might. Only the Reverb & Epic Touch have been leaked. But I remembered something yesterday. There were rumors at the beginning of the year that the Epic 2 was cancelled on Sprint & that it might be moved to prepaid instead. Seeing as it was already spotted in the Cellbrite system.
I'm thinking we may be seeing it as well...

That seems the more likely candidate bound for either VM or Boost, and it would make for an outstanding Flagship Device on Boost Mobile. As has already been pointed out by others on this thread, the Samsung Galaxy Prevail has been a run-away hit on Boost Mobile and is also due for an update/refresh.

The Galaxy SII is (or will be) available at Tracfone too...

The LG Vu is coming to Verizon soon & possibly other carriers. Maybe Sprint could get the Note 2 & pass it to us...

Next phone releasing on august 22 could be the samsung galaxy 2 plus. No 4G support but beast specs. Just like a prepaid phone for virgin and boost.

But wiil it be for VM or Boost?
I think Boost is overdue for a premium device.

might be both but I think it will be for virgin since boost is getting the epic touch which is pretty much confirmed. Phonearena had and article about the name BST after the epic touch. It passed thorough FCC.

As small as Clearwires Wi-Max coverage is, it would be a shame not to include it on this device.
