Stubby little bastard

But otherwise pretty neat looking. The question is: Will it fit properly in your pocket?
Something THAT small, how could it not fit in your pocket?!?!?!?!?

Could this happen?

I believe Alltel will one day be purchased by the great and mighty VERIZON WIRELESS. The way the Cellular Industry is going, I believe there will only be three or four major carriers! I know Verizon will be one and also Cingular and Sprint. So enjoy T-Mobile and USCC while they last!

But I do believe Alltel will bow down to the GREAT and MIGHTY VERIZON WIRELESS
Im not sure why you would suggest that Verizon might buy Alltel. Carriers use the same phones re-branded all the time. Plus, with Alltel having a network that is similiar, if not better than Verizon and plans that include more minutes, it seems Alltel...

A couple things here.... T-Mobile is owned by Deutsche Telekom and will never get bought out by a big guy cause they are a big guy. Alltel and USCC however are fair game. Lastly I hope people know to never buy a phone that starts with letters PN. PN-2...

I'm not a T-Mobile subscriber, but they are backed by the strong German T-Mobile, and they have over 20 million subscsribers, so they seem like a strong company to me.

But I certainly agree with'ya about Alltel, I'm actaually surprised Veriaon hasn...

ALLTEL is a pretty big company as well, and is owned by the Ford family. They are very much active in Mergers buying up smaller regionals, and I dont see them being acquired anytime soon. No way Tmobile is getting bought, they have way too much Germ...

It's for people who want some looozer free phone that does nothing but make and recieve calls, such people don't know what they're missing out on. . .

Yup indeed, UGLY, I could imagine cell phones looking like an old Ericcson phone from the mid-l...

I really don't see a problem with this phone...

Sure, it may be ugly, it may lack the features that all of us techno-geeks want...but you have to look at it from a marketing standpoint...

there are a lot of aging "boomers" who want a smaller than a brick, free (or close to it) phone... I personally think it will sell fairly well due to its compact size...

you all have to remember that not everyone out there needs a phone that has GSM 850/900/1800/1900 WCDMA 1900/2100 CDMA 850/1900 iDEN 800 AMPS 800 plus any others i'm missing, a 3425mp camera, speakerphone, bluetooth, AM/FM/XM radio, an nvidia graphics set, being 1 mm thick, built in carrier pidgeon, semifore flags, phazer color printer, a live band that pops out of the phone and plays to let you know you're ringing, PTT, Wi-Fi, a f...

If they're targeting an older crowd...a much larger keypad would be needed. Bright display with large, easy to read numbers and letters. Loud volume, and a simple menu.

Some things this phone lacks. At least from what I've heard from testers...
