Alltel Wireless will offer the Motorola Hint, a vertical slider phone on November 28th in
Alltel retail stores and at alltel.com.
The Motorola Hint includes a full QWERTY
keyboard with dedicated keys for the 2 MP camera, MP3 player and web access. The Motorola Hint puts the most frequently used features on the
main screen giving easy access to e-mail, voicemail and messaging -
letting users spend less time scrolling through menus and more time
communicating with their family and friends. Even with a large 2.5"
display screen, the compact 4.23 oz handset can easily slip into a
pocket or purse.
Beginning on November 28th, Alltel Wireless will be offering
customers the Motorola Hint for $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate. This
discounted price is for new customers on two-year service agreements, as
well as existing eligible customers on qualifying rate plans.
"Wireless customers communicate in so many different ways, and they want
their cell phones to be a portal to their social networks and the
Internet," said Brian Ullem, vice president of device strategy at Alltel
Wireless. "The Motorola Hint gives them a fun and sophisticated way to
stay in touch with the people who matter most."
Preloaded with popular applications such as Alltel Navigation powered by
Telenav, XM Radio Mobile and Aricent Celltop, the Motorola Hint gives
users a complete mobile experience. Threaded messaging keeps users
organized while the video capture and playback helps them stay creative.
