Alltel Wireless announced The Wafer, one of the thinnest, sleekest phones available on the U.S. market today, is now available exclusively at shopalltel.com and Alltel Wireless retail locations.

The Wafer (SCH-r510) by Samsung, offers customers the cool features they have come to expect out of their wireless phones in a quarter-inch form that can slip easily into a pocket, purse or the palm of your hand.

The Wafer, weighing only 2.7 oz., features XM Radio Mobile, Axcess TV and Axcess Mobile Guide. Other features include a 1.3 megapixel camera with video capabilities, an MP3 player, an expandable memory slot, Stereo Bluetooth Headset capability and Alltel’s award-winning Celltop technology.

The phone is equipped with Alltel’s exclusive Celltop technology, which is free-of-charge and features 11 pre-installed and downloadable “cells.” Each cell is a category-specific half screen comprised of graphics and text that provides shortcuts for wireless users to navigate through information and applications including: call log, weather, news, baseball, basketball, football, rodeo, stocks, text messaging inbox and ringtones.

The Wafer is now available at Alltel Wireless retail stores and at shopalltel.com for $49.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate. This discounted price is available when new customers sign-up for a two-year service agreement as well as existing eligible customers on qualifying rate plans.
