I have the Motorola (NYSE: MOT) C290 and I wanted to purchase The W385 over E-Bay But I don't want to do it if it doesn't carry a sim card? Could you upgrade a phone purchase online? Help please =)

No they use a CDMA network and they do not use sim cards only GSM phones do like T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) and at&t. Now if you upgrade for the W385 at a Boost Authorized Dealer you get another month of free service. Email me if you got any ?s

That information is incorrect. Both Boost and Nextel use SIM cards, on the IDEN network.

Default To end any confusion
Boost/Nextel Use Sim cards on the iDen network their sim chips are incompatible with any other service, as well other carriers phones will not work on the iDen network, ALSO The new Nextel phones use the same network as Sprint (NYSE: S) for cellular calls.
