LG Tritan from Alltel gets official
Just a few days behind schedule, Alltel has launched one of the more exciting handsets that will become available to its customers this month — the LG Tritan. Spec highlights include a 3-inch QVGA touchscreen, full QWERTY keyboard, full HTML browser, music player, G sensor, Bluetooth and a 3 megapixel camera. Oh yeah, and an “advanced UI”. As far as pricing goes, Alltel’s press release states the Tritan is available for $99.99 online and in stores after a $100 rebate but, oddly, it appears to have shot high. The site clearly shows a retail price of $449.99, an online discount of $270 and a $100 mail-in rebate. Let’s see: Carry the 4… Drop the 1… Multiply by pi… Take the square root of… Yep we get $79.99, just like the site says. Our advice: If you want one, hurry up and snatch it online now in case the site is low and the release is correct. Oh, and the site also says the Tritan is BOGOed up (buy one, get one free) so family plan-holders, rejoice.

GSM or CDMA ? Remember, Altel is VZ by now.
hey look is the new LG G1 when is open it looks just like the g1
Gsm or cdma alltel is Vs now but both are cdma… I’m right arnt I.
Yes CDMA for both.
Its an interesting phone. The D pad is actually a little cube that slides up, down, left, right rather than pressing the side of a panel down. Think HTC 6700-ish just a bit more comfortable.
and its got a g-sensor inside, should make for something interesting games and apps
Very G1ish
Like a BOSS
Pricing may vary since the divested side and the retained sides of Alltel both are selling this product, so depending on which PR BGR is using could be why you see two different pricings.
The device is pretty sweet. I personally love playing need for speed on it.
I just called US Cellular here in Iowa and they said they may not get it until next thursday. I’m going to kill. I need this phone.
well alltel is still open where I live so im going to hurry up and go to the store before it closes!
not in all parts of the country, but soon!
