Alltel has just announced availability of the Freeform (SCH-r351) from Samsung, a cheap little handset for avid texters. A2DP stereo Bluetooth support and microSD memory card slot supporting up to 16 GB would make you think this could pass as a decent music phone, but from what I can see, there’s no 3.5 mm headphone jack, just a USB connector on the right side. Too bad, but at least it’s got GPS and access to the Alltel Navigation service. There’s no word on pricing just yet, but you should be able to see it soon in the Alltel online store.
