Looking for a discount on a prepaid Motorola i1? With Best Buy the exclusive retailer of the prepaid Boost Mobile variant, that’s been hard to come by.
This week, Best Buy has rolled out an online coupon for $10 off the purchase of any Android phone in-store, including the prepaid Boost Mobile Motorola i1. The $10 is issued as 500 reward zone points, which can then be redeemed for a $10 gift card.
The coupon expires on July 17th, and can be accessed at the link below.
This also applies to Droid X if you buy it on the 15th, 16th, or 17th.
The i1 is not totally exclusive to best buy. The Nextel kiosk owned by allstar wireless that my son works at has the i1 in stock. No they did not buy them from best buy either.
The i1 on prepaid (via Boost Mobile) is exclusive to Best Buy. The article did not say that postpay i1 was exclusive to Best Buy, only prepaid.
Its the Boost prepay i1 that they sell. they dont have any postpay Nextel i1’s at all.
i1 not exclusive, shop the price among the small shops the have been doing Boost for awhile or call them. Saw it at my local shop for $339.00, he doesn’t care about the markups on the phone, he cares more about getting the $5 he gets for the reboost at his shop.
Boost has a nationwide exclusive on the phone, but it appears that Boost is letting local retailers (the “small shops”) sell them as well.
This is likely due to sluggish sales, which is likely due to the i1 being stuck in last year with Android 1.5.
