Samsung Replenish Comes to Boost Mobile January 16th

The eco-friendly Samsung Replenish is making the jump from parent-carrier Sprint to prepaid subsidiary Boost Mobile. The phone, which is made with recycled plastics and shipped in earth-friendly packaging, will be the carrier’s first Android phone to be priced below $100 (though only by a penny). The Replenish features a 2.8-inch touchscreen, QWERTY keyboard, and 2MP camera. The Android 2.3 handset will be available January 16th for $99.99 and will have the benefit of Boost’s $55 Android MonthlyUnlimited plan with shrinking payments.
