Have you always wanted to rock RIM’s wonky-lookin’ BlackBerry Style 9670, but weren’t sure enough about the big ol’ clamshell form factor to lock into a contract? Good news: It’s going pre-paid.

We’ve just received multiple tips that the Style will be hitting Boost Mobile sometime this month, complete with BlackBerry OS 6.0, a 5 megapixel camera, WiFi, and that oh-so-unique design. As for how much it’ll cost you, we’re hearing two different things: a Best Buy tipster says it’s in their inventory at $280, while the shot above pins it at $199. Given somewhat antiquated nature of the device, we’re hoping it’s closer to the latter.
