At first glance you might be tempted to give Motorola's newest slider a pass, but we had a chance to
check it out at CTIA a couple weeks back, and it's actually one helluva phone. The
QA4 Evoke combines a numeric slider keypad with a full touchscreen in a vaguely
PEBL-like package, offering EV-DO, a 2 megapixel cam, AGPS, A2DP, and naturally, microSD expansion -- and now, it can be yours on Alltel for $99.99 on contract. Of course, not everyone lives in an Alltel service area, so let's hope someone else has the foresight to pick it up, yeah?
[Thanks, Ben]
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.

If you're on a My Circle 10 or 20 plan through Alltel right now, guess what? You aren't anymore. Don't worry, though -- that's a good thing, because the carrier is upping your allowances by five numbers each at no additional charge. In other words, your My Circle 10 is now a My Circle 15, and your My Circle 20 (you big spender, you) is now a My Circle 25. Go crazy, add in your great aunt. You owe her a call anyway.
