The new LG Scoop

I also sell Sprint and I can tell you that this phone really fits a need for a lot of people. It's built well even though not evdo it is fast and takes good pictures. I liked the phone so much I got 2 for my wife and daughter. Every one we recieve we sell. This is going to be great for Alltel. 😁

the "new" Pearl

With the way that Alltel was discussing the red pearl, it almost sounded like they were trying to say that they were the only carrier that was going to be selling the pearl in red. Sprint also just started selling the red pearl last week.

Bright idea

I am a Alltel customer and fan BUT i'm sick of getting leftovers from other companies who've already had this phone. Alltel lets pull a AT&T move and get a "i-phone" exclusive phone! How many customers did AT&T get, even though they had crappy service, because they got exclusive rights to a phone everyone wanted?! Doesn't take a genius to figure this out.

i wish alltel had the iPhone. That'd be friggin sweet. Rather Sprint, though.

Manufactuerers don't regard alltel as a power, yet. Minus Kyrocera. You got exclusives with them!
