Motorola KRZR K1m
Verizon crippled, Alltel not?
Would someone please give specifics on the differences between Alltel and Verizon Wireless' versions of the K1m?
I keep reading that Verizon crippled the K1m with its UI, and that the Alltel one is so much better. Why, specificaly, is it better? For instance, does the Verizon K1m not allow me to transfer pics from the phone to my PC by USB and/or Bluetooth, where this not an issue with the Alltel K1m?

I'm trying to decide whether I should stick with VZW and get the K1m or go to Alltel and spend $149 for their K1m or stick with Verizon and get it for $99 after redeeming "New Every 2". I'm paying $59.99 for 400 min Americ...

I have a VZW K1m, here is my take:
If Alltel is available in your area, SWITCH! - At least I will when they are available in mine. Best of both worlds, good phones, same great network (they share networks)
- You cannot use your own ringtones on VZW (I had to hack my phone to do it)
- You cannot bluetooth ringers to friends
- Text Messaging is slow and not very intuitive if you are used to Motorola's interface. ** I hate this the most **
- There is some lag due to the Verizon Interface
- Switching between ring type (Loud, Med, Low, Vibrate) cannot be done with outside buttons when phone is closed.
-- I have the VZW K1m, these are my current issues, and I will flash to the Alltel version when it becomes available. If you do not k...
