The HTC Merge was finally announced by HTC last month after we had been continuously haunted by random imaged bearing carrier branding and countless rumors. Although know carriers were announced during HTC’s outing of the device, we already knew that it would most likely end up going to Verizon at some point. However it seems Alltel has struck first blood as the first carrier to officially take on this phone.
Starting March 28th Alltel will begin taking pre-orders for HTC’s newest slider at a price of $124.99 with a new contract. For what you’re getting the price isn’t bad.
- Android 2.2 Froyo with Sense UI
- 3.8″ touchscreen display
- 800MHz processor
- Slide-out qwerty keyboard
- 5Mp camera with 720p video capture
To take advantage of the pre-order be sure to check out Alltel’s site March 28th when when the pre-orders are scheduled to take place. No 3rd party retailers have been announced as of yet. Wonder what carrier will announce this phone next.
