Alltel Wireless and LG announced that the LG AX245 Bluetooth camera phone is now available to Alltel customers. In addition to hands-free Bluetooth technology, the AX245 features a VGA camera with flash, Axcess Web capability and Axcess picture messaging. It has a built-in speakerphone and voice-activated dialing as well as BREW client 3.1.4.

For customers' added convenience, the AX245 is equipped to receive software updates and programming wirelessly "over the air," reducing the need for maintenance-related store visits.

This discounted price is available to new customers on two-year service agreements as well as to existing eligible customers on qualifying rate plans.
