Alltel and HTC have issued a system update for the HTC Touch smartphone that will upgrade its EV-DO Rev. 0 radio to Rev. A, which allows for faster download and upload speeds. The update will also improve Bluetooth performance and will add the ability to receive video messages.

After Verizon and Sprint the BlackBerry Curve 8330 was launched on the Alltel's CDMA network.

It will be available for purchase starting May 1 for $229.99 after contract and rebates.

While there is still some time left before the release, you can pre-order the phone anytime over at Alltel's site.

• Mako S4000: two screens (internal 1.8"), VGA camera, BREW platform, Bluetooth

Samsung Muse is a new affordable music cell phone from Alltel.

Alltel has become the last U.S. carrier to offer an unlimited $99 voice plan.

It includes voice services only; this means no extra features such as messaging or data.

However, the company claims this isn't the best plan they have; they just wanted to widen the choice for their customers.

Apparently, Alltel will soon release the new LG Glimmer, a cool looking EV-DO slider equipped with a large 2.8" touch-sensitive display, 2Mpix camera with flash, Bluetooth and microSD card slot.

Let's just hope won't have to wait an eternity to get it.

Between February 22 and 24 Alltel will be offering a bonus of 500 free minutes to all existing and new subscribers who choose the $39.99 plan or higher. But keep in mind, the bonus is valid only for a month.

This way Alltel decided to celebrate its recent victory in the 50th run of the Daytona 500.<
