U.S. Cellular is joining Alltel to offer the full QWERTY keyboard-equipped LG Banter. The mid-rage device is designed with heavy texter/social networking freak in mind, sporting a chat-style messaging interface and a powerful instant messaging application. To allow personalization, the phone supports the changeable faceplates, allowing users to express themselves with lime green and titanium variations.
Other specs include a 1.3 megapixel camera, music player, stereo Bluetooth support (A2DP), and of course a microSD memory card slot. All this could be yours for 50 bucks on a two-year contract, after rebate.
