ZTE Warp hands-on (video)
We’re here at the Hard Rock Cafe in NYC, where Boost Mobile is showing off its latest prepaid Android smartphone running on Sprint’s 3G CDMA network, the ZTE warp. If you’ll recall, this 1GHz Gingerbread 2.3.5-equipped device dropped on November 2nd for $250, only to receive a price drop to $200 days later. Boost is citing the Warp’s 4.3-inch WVGA (480 x 800) display as the largest of its current offerings, along with its 5-megapixel, LED flash-equipped camera (raising the count up from the two on its $229 Samsung Transform Ultra). The phone is Android Market-compatible and comes with 4GB of internal storage and a 2GB microSD card, which can be maxed out to 32GB. So, did the Warp feel worthy of its moniker in the few minutes we spent with it? Join us past the break for our impressions.

Boost Mobile to tack $5 onto monthly Android Unlimited plans beginning October 6th
Does the Samsung Transform Ultra quench your thirst for a prepaid high-performance Android handset? That’ll be an extra $5 a month, please. Boost Mobile sneakily attached the announcement to the end of this morning’s press release like it was a Congressional bill, casually mentioning that its monthly Android Unlimited plans will see the additional charge as of October 6th. Grandfathered customers won’t be affected — at least, not until they upgrade to a new Android device, at which time they’ll also be assessed the extra cost. Times they are a-changin’, it seems. Head below to see the full announcement.

AT&T to offer $50 unlimited prepaid plan, ready to ‘GoPhone’ June 26th
Boost and Verizon shouldn’t have all the fun, right? The latest kid to do a cannonball into the low-cost prepaid pool is wearing a blue-and-orange swimsuit, as AT&T will be ready to start up $50 unlimited GoPhone plans June 26th. The new prepaid selection sheds $10 off its previous limitless talk and text offering, while tossing in web access for Quick Messaging Phones. In order to be fully competitive in the pay-as-you-go realm, the aforementioned plan will allow the same texting privileges across our borders; you’ll be able to SMS or IM your buddies in Mexico, Canada, and 100 other countries. The unfortunate (albeit unsurprising) part is that heading the smartphone route will come at an additional monthly cost, ranging from $5 to $25. Even though it seems Big Blue is a little tardy for the party, a wireless giant is never late — it arrives exactly when it means to. Full press release after the break.

Motorola i1 — Sprint/Nextel’s push-to-talk Android phone
The Motorola i1 is neither big, nor bad, but it certainly fills a niche that many believe is dying off — push-to-talk on the IDEN network. Applications and services from other carriers try to replicate it, but if you’ve ever used an actual "chirp" phone (either because you wanted to or otherwise) you know it’s not the same. Those who need PTT service on their phone now have an Android choice, so let’s have a look and see if it would be a wise choice to make after the break.
