Alltel Refugee

Alright folks, I'm going to cut out on Alltel. This merger is too much for me, especially after sitting in a room with Scott Ford and listening to him speak about his passion toward the company. Add the fact that I, and many others, were impressed and took him to be a genuine, honest individual whose intent was to keep Alltel out of acquisition war shows how convincing he was. Sure, I work for Alltel, sure I will continue to keep my free service and free, new phones... I will, however, be dropping my personal contract, ETF or not.

I have three lines with T-Mobile that I had planned to pay the ETF on prior to this sloppy merger, but I will be staying put. Sure there is no 3G in place, I can live with that as the BB Pearl and my datacar...

Obviously he can, as a CEO, however, his reputation is key. Changing your mind with the winds is a tad prickish, only two weeks ago he was detailing his plans to keep Alltel out of the maze of acquisitions. Damn deceptive. Not that it really has any impact on my job at this point, it just shakes my trust in Alltel from a consumer standpoint.

it's said Diamond or Raphael will come, but pretty hard to tell
an Android-based phone will come also, along with bb KickStart
I don't want to mention Bold this time, because a rumor says it won't have 3G support
SE phone are coming
you may want to scroll down a bit to see a list of 3G launch markets, but I remember Alabama is in one of them, that may be available by end of the year
I want to suggest Curve, but I hear it has random crash problem when using TalkForever

post i made a little while back about possible new phones within the next 6 months, if not sooner.

post i made about 3g launch cities this year. Its not launched in a couple more larger markets.

as far as the current line-up concerns, the only comparable phones to it really are the Wing, Shadow, Curve, and Pearl 2. I talked to a HTC rep yesterday and he said the Wing is going to be replaced very soon, so you might want to wait and see what that replacement is.
