Boost Mobile just announced the latest Android smartphone to join their $55 pre-paid lineup, the LG Marquee. The Marquee isn’t the “latest and greatest” Android phone, and has been out for quite some time, but it’s a nice mid-range device that’s more than capable of handling most tasks. For $279.99, you can grab the Marquee along with an affordable pre-paid plan from Boost. The Marquee features:

• A NOVA Display: 4-inch color TFT (480 x 800) WVGA
• Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
• 1GHz processor
• Memory: 512MB RAM, 2GB ROM
• 1500mAh battery
• MicroSD Slot (2GB included card)
• 5-megapixel camera (rear)
• 2-megapixel camera (front)

If you’re interested in picking up the Marquee from Boost Mobile, it will be available January 23, so you have a couple of weeks to think about it. Cheers!
