Alltel announced the Samsung Delve

As we reported last week, hoping to catch some of the fanfare that has surrounded the touchscreen phone market, Alltel announced the Samsung Delve, an Instinct-look alike with a full screen and Samsung’s TouchWiz interface. This is the user interface that we've seen in a few European models, including the Pixon and the F480, allowing users to add customized widgets to the home screen.

The device comes equipped with a 3" 240x400 display, 2-megapixel camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth with stereo audio support and a GPS receiver. Like the Instinct, the Delve offers a microSD card slot for memory expansion. It can already be pre-ordered, and Alltel plans to launch it in retail stores on November 7th. It will cost $200 after a $100 mail-in rebate, $50 less than what we knew earlier.

rip off? it has a completly different operating system than the instinct. And it is a less expensive version on the omni...scratch that, the omni is a full loaded bad ass device. this phone is a great phone w/o windows operating in the back ground. You wont get outlook but it has a pre-loaded email tortuial that will guide you to set up web access to email. ETF's with the big 3 we will soon be free from the carrie ball and chain.

there are no guarantees that the merger will go through and it would be against anti-competitive laws for alltel and verizon to do anything different until the merger is completed, according to legal "business as usual"

so if you get this phone are they going to make us buy the internet? like do we have to have internet on it or can we choose not to?

yes, you are forced to get the internet. I had to up my plan from my nice low customized plan, to the $89.99 plan that includes unlimited texting (video and picture), nights starting at 7pm, 10 my-circle, unlimited internet, 500 mins.

not horrible, but considering this is the route most phones are going... i'm not upset because it was going to happen sometime or another.
