"Average Phone"
Pros: Loud speaker, nice camera
Cons: Can Not Bluetooth Data, Can't transfer Ringtones you have to buy them from Alltel,
Summary: Bought this phone because of the MP3 player only to find out that I had to spend 70.00 dollars for a Data cable and another 50.00 for a scandisk. You also can not put your own ringtones to the phone. You have to buy them from Alltel. This is the worst phone I have owned I have had it for 1 week and Im sending it back.

I bought this phone 1 week after it came out from Alltel, bought the data kit for $20 and a 1gb card for $20. The data kit also is not needed to use the mp3 function, and loading mp3's via the data cable (rather than through a microSD-to-SD adapter) is incredibly slow. Perhaps the price at the Alltel store for these accessories was $70 and $50, but to use the mp3 functionality requires only the purchase of the SD card.
Also, you can use any mp3 as a ringtone, but it requires some effort with the data cable and a program called bitpim. It definitely could be easier, but getting any song you want as a ringtone is possible on this phone. -
It looks like you didn't know about the charges you would face. But, young man, that has nothing to do with the quality of the phone. We are rating phones here, not your opinion about how the service provider operates. You should be ashamed for rating this phone based on service price. This is a very very nice phone.
