Alltel Wireless has announced it would offer Samsung’s (News - Alert) SCH-r510 Wafer—claimed to be one of the thinnest, sleekest phones on the U.S. market – for retail at shopalltel.com and Alltel Wireless retail locations.
Weighing just 2.7 oz, the Wafer phone features XM Radio Mobile, Axcess TV and Axcess Mobile Guide. It is preloaded with Axcess Search, which allows customers to search for ringtones, wallpaper or other information on their phones by simply holding down the pound key.
Other features include a 1.3 megapixel camera with video capabilities, an MP3 player, an expandable memory slot, Stereo Bluetooth Headset capability and Alltel's award-winning Celltop technology.
The phone is equipped with Alltel's Celltop technology, which is free-of-charge and features 11 pre-installed and downloadable cells. Each cell is a category-specific half screen comprised of graphics and text that provides shortcuts for wireless users to navigate through information and applications including: call log, weather, news, baseball, basketball, football, rodeo, stocks, text messaging inbox and ringtones.
"Alltel is committed to accommodating our customers and their always-on-the-go lifestyles," said Wade McGill, senior vice president of product management for Alltel Wireless. "The Wafer delivers an amazing array of fashion, functions and features in a groundbreaking ultra-thin form."
The Wafer costs $49.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate for new customers signing a two-year service agreement as well as for existing eligible customers on qualifying rate plans.
