The LG AX 300 is very similar to the AX-275 but the upgrade is a larger display. It has a speaker independent voice dialing system so for all you lazy people out there this is a plus. Some specs on this cell phone are the 2.86 oz weight, talk time of 3.3 hours maximum, a 58MB memory, and much more. Some features on this cell phone are the Bluetooth connectivity, has built in USB connector, and many more. Overall it is not that great of a cell phone. It is simple enough to pass by everyday life by making a few call or for emergency purposes Good for the kids because it’s cheap. Some LG ax300 accessories that will improve this cell phone is probably an extended cell phone battery.

I want to talk about a recently new cell phone released by LG whose provider is Alltel. The LG 300 is something that I do not really like. This cell phone is similar to the LG 275 serious but the outer display is no where comparable to the new cell phones today. Pretty dull cell phone if you ask me. It does have Multilanguage accessibility for English and Spanish. It has built in Bluetooth and supports USB. The camera resolution on this sucker is 640×480. It has built in memory 58 MB built in flash shared memory. The clamshell looking cell phone is one of a kind that I will never buy. However, some lg 300 accessories should help the cell phone improve its looks and hopefully a little more.

Finally, it’s not just the cocky advertising that Alltel has to show for. They now actually have a phone that would get people excited about going to the store not just waiting for who Alltel guy is going to make fun of.

Alltel advertise it as slimmest phone that Alltel has at 1/4″. And Celltop ready - Alltel mobile webservice.

Removable memory slot and mp3 player. Ofcourse, profile capable of supporting stereo bluetooth headset.

At price of $49.99 with activation, I think this is good first time multimedia phone for customers who must use Alltel.

As for me, Alltel does not have service in place where I live, called Los Angeles.

Verizon carried it, now it’s Alltel’s chance at getting some of this great phone. LG VX8600 or for Alltel, LG AX8600, now available in Green, Gold, Blue and Black (only from Verizon). They call these Alltel phone (or LG 8600 series phone)

“Flip Chocolate”. Someone add that to dictionary. I heard ‘milk chocolate’ and ‘white chocolate’ before but this is first time I am hearing about this ‘flip chocolate’. Only in 2007…

Nice over all phone. Small and think but unlike Motorola RAZR V3, it feels extremely solid. Buttons are big and pushable, and letters on them are also big enough to see if without glasses. 1.3 MPixel camera that can do video and memory slot for memory cards. As always, LG AX8600 Accessories can be found at Accessorygeeks.com. However, I am still waiting for Alltel to come to my town.

If you visited Alltel website recently, first thing that you would notice, besides the 5 fat talking heads, is “WHY ALLTEL?” Why Alltel? Here is my take on their service. I like alltel, I like the fact that they are on CDMA verizon network. I had my first cell phone on LA Cellular, under CDMA analog system back in 90’s. I like the fact that network availability is there when I need it. However, I disagree when Alltel wireless claim ‘america’s largest network’. Just because you rent a line from verizon, who is the america’s largest network, you don’t automatically become America’s largest network. You don’t even have a store at most of part of America!

Secondly, ‘Switch Risk Free’. It’s not just Alltel claiming that but most other major u.s. carriers are giving customers option for 15 day trial. I once signed up for Cingular and try to take it back cause signal was horrible at my work. Sale person made me feel so bad about returning it, I almost kept it. Anyways, you know Alltel Accessories are available at Accessorygeeks.com.

According to the Washington Post/Reuters, Alltel is accapting buyout bids. 2 companies, Providence Equity Partners and the Blackstone Group are on the budding list to buy Alltel Corp. There are other company in the runnings also. Industry insiders guess $30 Billion as the final price. We will have to wait and see. Alltel I think is on right track to becoming a player in national carrier. Check out Alltel LG phone accessories at Accessorygeeks.com.

Alltel wireless has just recently announced a new feature that will allow current Alltel users to view an unknown number’s location via city and state. The new feature, properly named City ID, will display the city and state of the unknown number calling the Alltel headset which can be extremely useful for those of us who demand more control over our wireless networks. Till this day, I’m plagued with occasionally receiving a private caller in which 99% of the time I deny, with this new feature offered by Alltel I might actually be able to see what city they’re calling from and base my decision off of that which can prevent me from denying and important call based on the fact that it was private. Alltel seems to be stepping up their game to compete with other carries such as T-Mobile and Verizon and with innovative features such as this City ID, I can see Alltel becoming one of the heavyweights in the industry.

Alltel recently announced that it is implementing a plan that will allow data card subscribers to access the Internet in all major U.S. cities whether they’re in Alltel’s coverage area or not. This is great news for individuals who are already subscribed to the unlimited plan since it doesn’t increase monthly costs at all. This is a great indication as to how well Alltel is actually doing in the wireless industry. They’re becoming quite a powerhouse in the areas covered and I can easily see them expanding to the West Coast in no time. Please check back frequently for up-to-date information on Alltel wireless.

We all know that CDMA carriers usually get the short end of the stick when it comes to new phones. Fortunately for Alltel, Samsung will be adding a couple of their phones to the Alltel lineup. The Samsung R200 is very much like the Wafer minus the features, but it also introduces itself as an entry-level phone so much shouldn’t be expected. The other model rumored for release is the R500 which houses a 1.3 megapixel camera, bluetooth compatibility, and stereo speakers all complied into a nicely sized clam shell phone. There is no date on when these two are coming out but I do expect to see them in the next couple months.

Cheers,

John
