$249.99 ? Get many dropped calls? I am looking into getting the Boost Blackberry Curve 8330 from Boost on the CDMA site, but I was just wondering, which network has a bigger coverage area, the iDen side or the CDMA site of Boost ?
Does anyone have this device, how well does it work? Does it drop calls a lot when traveling? I currently have a Motorola i776 on iDEN, but I am looking for faster texting and more clear calling, so CDMA seems the way to go, but I just need to know if I will still get decent coverage like I do with the iDEN side of Boost Mobile..... Please help, I really wanna get this Blackberrry Curve !!! I hear the Boost CDMA will not roam off for example a Verizon Tower when out of Sprint coverage area like when you have a Sprint contract with free roaming in your plan...If they put the Boost Blackberry Curve 8330 out or any CDMA Boost Phone and allowed them to roam off Verizon & Sprint towers, they would make a killing of people switching to Boost I think? Cause I looked at Sprint's nationwide map, and compared to Verizon or AT&T, it is very very much smaller....I don't have very fast or reliable internet right now to check their site to check signal around my area....
Also can the Boost Blackberry be used to put your PC online (Tethering) through Bluetooth or a USB Cord? And if it works is it unlimited at 3G speeds? I am able to use my iDEN Series Boost Motorola i776 as a Modem for my PC and it works fine, just very very very very slow...Like half the speed of Dial up, ( iDEN Packet Data is slow as heck! )
Any information, preferably on how well the signal is on the Boost Blackberry Curve 8330 is greatly helpful...
Also, if I decide I do not like the phone is there a return policy with Boost Mobile if I purchase it from their site? Or am I better off buying it from a store locally?
Is there any stores that have this phone on Display turned on to try out (Like I see at most Verizon Wireless stands they have all phones turned on and activated so you can try them out, they even dial out...)

Thank you so very much everyone for any information.
Edit: to ANGEL,
I do not have good enough credit to get a Contract with any carrier, so that's out of the question for now until my credit improves.
So I must keep with prepaid for now.
Unless I could find someone who could push me pasted the credit check for AT&T or Verizon so I don't have to pay the ridiculous security deposit. $750 for AT&T & $400 for Verizon.
I'm on a small fixed income, so it's hard to save up that kind of money...
