Alltel may not be the largest carrier in the United States, but it is never one to shy away from a trend. And this time, the trend is touch-screen phones.

Alltel may not be the largest carrier in the United States, but it is never one to shy away from a trend. And this time, the trend is touch-screen phones. The carrier's new Samsung Delve is a cross between Sprint's Samsung Instinct and T-Mobile's Samsung Behold. From the outside it looks a lot like the Instinct, but the physical keys below the display are more a sign of the Behold. Also called the SCH-r800, the Delve successfully fills a gap in Alltel's lineup by offering a touch-screen phone with a sleek design and multimedia features. It performed well in our tests and it's offered at a reasonable price of $99 with service.
Performance We tested the dual-band Samsung Delve SCH-r800 in San Francisco using Alltel's roaming service. Call quality was quite good on the whole. Voices sounded natural and we enjoyed a clear signal without any static or interference. The volume could be just a bit higher, but it should be sufficient for most users. We like that during calls you have instant access to the speakerphone, a memo pad, and the voice recorder.
