The first official images of the forthcoming replacement to the Casio G’Zone Type-S have surfaced.
The Casio c711 clamshell we previously covered is now known as the Casio Boulder and will feature a Mil-Spec bodyshell along with EVDO Rev. A access for its forthcoming push to talk service, 1.3 megapixel camera with flash and video capture, 256 MB of internal memory, GPS support with workforce management applications, Bluetooth, media player and speakerphone.
The Alltel LG AX300 is now available. The Alltel LG AX300 is a brand new stylish & compact phone available at the carrier. The new handset only costs $0.99 after rebates and 2 year agreement, so it’s hard to beat that. Of course, you can’t expect the best phone for $1, so it is a pretty basic handset.
The Alltel LG AX300 features include:
- VGA camera with picture messaging
- Bluetooth
- speakerphone
- Celltop ready
- GPS capable & it is BREW enabled.
The Alltel Samsung MyShot is now available. The Alltel Samsung MyShot is a brand new flip-phone which just made it’s way to the carrier. It has already been released by Cricket and MetroPCS, so Alltel is the first of the “bigger” carriers to get ahold of this one. Overall, it’s not a bad handset, although it is very basic.
The Alltel Samsung MyShot features include:
- 262k STN display
- 1.3 megapixel camera
- Bluetooth 2.0
- GPS capable
- Celltop ready
- an organizer and speakerphone

This latest slider from Sony Ericsson targets the youth market and is focused on providing an enriched gaming experience. It carries quad-band GSM/EDGE radios, as well as stereo Bluetooth and an FM radio. The F305 has what Sony Ericsson calls Motion Gaming. Similar to the Nintendo Wii, it is sensitive to movement, and will allow users to flick or swing the phone to interact with games, such as bowling or fishing.
Sony Ericsson says developers are working on a wide range of 2D and 3D games for the device that will be available later this year. It has dedicated gaming buttons, stereo speakers, and has two different covers to personalize the phone. The F305 also comes with a 2 megapixel camera, supports Memory Stick Micro for storage, and media playback. It will be available in select markets in the fourth quarter.
