Alltel gets official with Motorola VE465
We'd already known it was coming, but Alltel has now dropped full details on the VE465 flip from Motorola. The relatively low end handset features a 1.3 megapixel cam, microSD slot supporting up to 4GB of data, stereo Bluetooth, and -- in support of that media capability -- an interesting "call" / "media" mode-switching capability that changes the keypad lighting depending on what you're trying to do (you can kinda think of it as ModeShift "lite"). This sucker's available right now for $50 on contract after an instant rebate.
Motorola VE465 spotted on Alltel's site, Sherlock suspects a launch is in the works
In this world, there are phones, and then there are phones. The VE465 from Motorola is definitely in the former, non-italicized category, but that's fine -- there's a place for all handsets in our heart. There's apparently also a place for this thing in Alltel's heart, because a product page has now sprung up over on the carrier's site pimping the unreleased phone's specs and chocolatey goodness. Alright, it's really not all that chocolatey, but hey, at least it's got EV-DO, a 1.3 megapixel cam, and compatibility with Alltel's Celltop service -- and if we had to guess, it'll probably go for a song on contract when it finally launches. We'll keep an eye on this one. [Via Unwired View]
Motorola's VE465, ZN300, QA4 and VE66 Lux get one step closer to officialdom
So, there's good news and not-so-awesome news. As for the former, we've got four new Motorola handsets that look to be as good as definite. As for the latter, there's only a sliver of a chance you'll actually be interested in owning one. That said, those looking for a new dumbphone (and unwilling to wait for the bounties sure to unfold at Mobile World Congress) can have a gander at the VE465, ZN300, QA4 and VE66 Lux. Unfortunately, the only one which has bothered to show its whole self (and not just its face) is the above pictured VE465, which we already knew was on the way courtesy of the FCC. Prep your best yawn and hit the read link if you're ready for more.
Motorola passes a couple snoozer flips through FCC
We don't have model numbers for these new models Motorola just yet, but we're going to take a wild guess: W something. The W series is where the less interesting stuff lies in Moto's lineup, and judging from a quick look, these new ones definitely qualify. They're essentially the same -- silvery gray with external music controls and CDMA radios -- but one adds AWS, presumably for use on MetroPCS or Cricket. Awesome, not exactly -- but better than an AWS V3, we suppose.[Via Cell Phone Signal]Update: Phone Scoop notes that it's actually the VE465. W...
