Boost Mobile Will Begin Carrying The HTC EVO Design 4G Starting May 31st

Sprint's prepaid subsidiary Boost Mobile, will carry the HTC EVO Design 4G, like its counterpart on Virgin Mobile, the device will launch on May 31 with Ice Cream Sandwich and Sense 3.6, leading many to believe that Sprint's version of the EVO Design 4G will also receive this update before the end of the month. The device will operate on Sprint's 4G WiMAX network and will be compatible with Boost's $55 unlimited plan with shrinking payments. The plan provides unlimited talk, text, and web and lowers one's monthly payments by $5 after six monthly on-time payments, until hitting a bottom of $40/month.

The device will keep its WiFi hotspot capabilities for an additional plan add-on of only $10/month, although Boost plans to eventually throttle data speeds in the future once a customer hits 2.5GB. The EVO Design 4G will also come with visual voicemail, which is a first for Boost customers.

HTC EVO V 4G Will Launch May 31 On Virgin Mobile

Previous rumors regarding a launch of the HTC EVO 3D on prepaid Sprint MVNO Virgin Mobile have now been confirmed. The device will be rebranded the HTC EVO V 4G and take advantage of Virgin Mobile's new 4G Beyond Talk plans.

The prepaid carrier will make use of Sprint and Clearwire's WiMAX network to offer unlimited 4G data, along with unlimited text and 300 voice minutes, all for $35/month. The device will sell for $299.99 with no commitment.

Interestingly enough, Sprint implies in its press release that the EVO V 4G will launch with Ice Cream Sandwich and Sense 3.6. Hopefully, this means that Sprint-branded EVO 3D handsets will also receive the update before May 31.
