Incorrect Info USCC is the first

USCC will launch the Delve on Nov 4. And Alltel on Nov 6. Sansung said that USCC will get the Touchwiz UI first. So I dont understand how phonescoop is getting its info.

Geo is right. But who cares. USCC is small compared to Alltel. The bottom line is that the phone rocks and who ever gets it will be selling many. To bad for Sprint. TouchWiz is much better than Instinct.

I'm going to be happy to sell this phone. Alltel's lineup is starting to get a lot better. Nowhere near ATT and Verizon but it's getting better

We got our info from the official Samsung press release. Where did Samsung say that "USCC will get the Touchwiz UI first"? Do you have a link?

The link you have does not say Alltel is the first. And it does not have a news article.

That's a rumor. The headline even has a question mark at the end. That rumor also says mid-November... how is that Nov 4? πŸ˜•

Even if USCC launches this phone first, what info of ours is incorrect? πŸ˜• We only said this phone is Samsung's first TouchWiz phone for the US, and Alltel is getting it. We're not saying Alltel is getting it first.

YOUR SUBJECT SAID Alltel Gets Samsung's First U.S. TouchWiz Phone. And a pic with the delve and info on Alltel Devle too. Am I wrong?!

You're correct.

None of that says Alltel is getting it first.

Thanks for the tip that USCC is getting it as well, although I have no way to confirm that; it hasn't been announced or officially confirmed yet. Samsung and Alltel have made an announcement.

You'er right about the announcement. Alltel has the preorder on their website but not a news announment when they are launching it. And Samsung does not have a news announcement on Alltel getting the devle. All over the web USCC is being said that they are getting the Delve in early nov. And I know we are selling it on the 4th nov. Just give it some time. USCC will announce the Samsung Delve on their site.

🀨 We don't just pull these things out of thin air, you know. Samsung and Alltel did put out a joint press release at exactly 9am this morning. It crossed the wires. Company web sites are often behind the wires in adding new press releases.

Here is the full text:

Where is the link on this text info. I check both Alltel and Samsung. No where to be found. This text said that Alltel is getting the Delve. Not the first to get it and to have touchwiz.
...
Rich Brome

Oct 30, 2008, 11:32 AM
Once again, NO ONE said Alltel was first to get the Delve or first to have TouchWiz.

1. The Delve is Samsung's first TouchWiz phone for the US.

2. Alltel will get it.

That's what the press release says, and that's what our coverage says. No one said "Alltel first" anything.

Samsung sent us the press release directly.

Sorry if Im being agresive about this. You're right on 1 and 2. I'll leave it at that. But, the subjuct should be change to say "Alltel is getting the Samsung Delve on Nov 7th". Not Alltel Gets Samsung's First U.S. TouchWiz Phone. That all I want to say. I think that's fair. Don't you?

its alright geoslay53. its not a big deal at all! Thanks Rich for your info though. USCC is really quiet on all phone releases.

Oct 30, 2008, 12:49 PM
True, USCC does not release info on their phones out soon enough. The main reson why they dont. Test their phones alot and make sure it work first before releasing it. Their are times it pisses me off that they take to long to release the info.

Not that serious. But, at least have the correct info. And one other thing. Grow up dude!

Look at the phrase this way....Alltel gets "Samsung's first TouchWiz", not Alltel gets first Samsung phone with TouchWiz. The phrasing is right, you're just slightly off lol

Oct 30, 2008, 1:40 PM
That not what I said. "Alltel gets Samsung first TouchWiz". Dude read what it said. Not "Samsung first TouchWiz". It "Alltel Gets" is the part that is incorrect. Maybe it should say "US Cellular gets Samsung first TouchWiz phone".

Samsung'S (emphasize the 'S) mean it is the first Samsung TouchWiz phone, not that Alltel is the company to first receive it.

That was pretty hilarious N8Sellscells. I know you probably already know this cause you are on Phone Scoop... but USCC is United States Cellular Corporation ( U.S. Cellular ) I t is a large regional carrier with over 6 million customers. The next largest carrier next Alltel. West Coast, midwest, NE, and Central SE
