Alltel announces red BlackBerry Pearl 8130, LG Scoop, and Samsung Muse

Alltel will be expanding its portfolio with three additional devices. First comes the GPS-equipped BlackBerry Pearl 8130 in red, which is already available for preordering. Then there’s the text-friendly LG Scoop with its full slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Once it hits the market, you’ll be able to pick it up in orange, cyan or gray color. Finally, the mid-range Samsung Muse is a decent clamshell for people who want to use their mobile phone as a music player. The 2 megapixel camera is also on board allowing you to take occasionally photos while on-the-go.

Now let’s discuss — or not — the availability. Except for the the Pearl, we don’t have the exact details when you’ll be able to pick any of the mentioned devices. Most likely within month or two, so stay tuned… In the meantime, check out Alltel’s page dedicated to the new offering.

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
