phones and providers

[Matt]

Hi everyone.

Me and my colleagues are really interested in where and so the
geoinformatics lab I work in just bought a boost mobile phone to check
out where and develop on a live platform. Unfortunately boosts servers
have been down for the past few weeks and won't allow me to download
it.

My question: what phones / cell providers do you all use? I liked the
option of boost because we only had to buy the phone and pay for where
service fee to boost once every month. Is our only option to get a
phone from sprint and be forced to sign a
2 year contract?

I appreciate your time and tour help with this issue. We can't wait
to get on board with where and the community!

All the info that you are looking for can be found here ...

Click the Boost icon. Look for "Does Where support my phone".

I think Matt was looking for an alternative to Boost... without
signing up for a 2-yr plan.
There is the option of using a Nokia N95, right? Any other phones not
tied to a carrier?

Yeah, I was looking for an alternative to Boost. The emulator hasn't
been working for me, so a phone is my best option I think, unless it's
something I'm doing that's killing the emulator. I don't see
anything on where's site about N95 but I'm probably not looking in the
right place. Thanks for the help!
