We mentioned that the LG Banter would be available from U.S. Cellular back at CTIA 2009, but U.S. Cellular just made it official with pricing. The design is similar to that of the LG Rumor 2, and is pretty identical to the LG Banter for Alltel.
It has the number keypad on the front like on a candy bar phone, plus it has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard for easier messaging. Features are about the same as the Banter for Alltel; it has a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, music player, GPS, and changeable faceplates. It is available for $49.95 after a two-year contract.
