LG Scoop now available on Alltel; Heavy texters from rural areas rejoice
By Dusan Belic on Tuesday, February 19th, 2008 at 3:31 AM PST In Alltel, Devices, LG

Back in January, Alltel announced it will roll out the full QWERTY keyboard equipped LG Scoop in the near future. Well, that day has come and now the device is available in Slate, Turquoise or Citrus colors.
Aside from the full keyboard paired with the chat-style text messaging client that will make anyone a savvy texter, there’s nothing special about the Scoop. The 1.3 MP camera along with Bluetooth connectivity support and an MP3 player software sound so last yearish. But then again, you shouldn’t expect much more for $59.99 after all the discounts and rebates, and with an appropriate plan…

To make ringtones from your audio files:
1) Choose “multimedia” from your main menu.
Good luck!
2) Go to number 7 (Shuffle) and choose “ringtone list”.
3) You’ll need to select “add” with your left soft key, then add AT LEAST 2 audio files. It won’t work unless you select at least 2.
4) After this, select “options” with your right soft key and pick “settings” from the list. You’ll need to toggle the “All Calls” setting to ON.
There you have it…audio files as ring tones. It will shuffle back and forth between the audio files you add to your list. If you only want one ringtone, save the audio file you want as two different names and add those. It will think it’s shuffling between two ringtones, when it’s actually the same one. There’s a great video on YouTube that will walk you through this if my directions are too confusing
I REALLY LIKE THIS PHONE IM GOING JOB HUNTING TODAY SO I CAN GET ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This phone sucks!! i have had 3 because the keyboard is always messed up. it is very slow at a lot of things. i don’t hardly have signal anywhere!! if you are a guy wanting to get the phone, i would recommend you get something else because the backgrounds are mainly for girls… i have had a lot of problems with the alltel LG scoop!!
well guess what emily you must be a rich spoiled brat beacause you had about 6 of them
maybe your just making things up about having 6
your sister should have one and not you because your not machure enough

and it’s awesome
well maybe that’s just me because it’s my
first phone
but what ever
mines great
hope you like yours
sam!!!!!!
I hope to get this awesome phone in August……..which is my bday. It sucks I have 2 wait 3 months…….but oh well. As long as I get it at all I’m happy. The sad thing is I’ve read mixed opinons about this phone, like how there are a bunch of problems with the phone after awhile……while other people say they’ve had no problem with it. I am going to get it in orange, though, cuz its my fave color!
Omg what color of phone do you have??
