Darn... you beat me to it by 16 minutes. Oh well, it's cool that Alltel has the e815 to replace the v710. Not like no one saw this coming, though.
Well too late for alltel, I got mine with Verizon Wireless online for $49.99 plus tax. It would have cost me almost triple the price. Verizon is doing great so far.
Yeah, but you're with Verizon... so you have no circle. You're just 'in.' In what? They just don't tell you.
Sometimes i love the "In the network" ads espcially around here. We have Verizon here but they use alltel's network. Their its in the network ads are funny. i always say.. yeah OUR network lol. I actually talked to a sales rep on day in the verizon store just to mess with him. i asked him why i should go with them, having no intention of going with verizon, why i should. i asked him if they use alltel's network in the area. he told me yes. i then repied why should i go with you then and not just alltel. his reply, i don't know, if it were me id go to alltel
