Amidst the cell phone excitement at CTIA in Los Angeles, Samsung slipped out a sleeper slider on Alltel. The U420, or the Nimbus, is the first Alltel phone to feature Axcess technology, which will let users surf the net, download XM radio content, ring tones, games, and more. As far as features go though, the offerings are pretty standard: a VGA camera with flash, Bluetooth, speakerphone, voice dialing, text and picture messaging, picture caller ID, and basic PIM functions. You can currently get not one but two of them for $49.99 for a 2-year plan.
