Alltel to bring TouchWiz technology to its users with Delve SCH-r800 by Samsung
As we mentioned a few days ago, Samsung has prepared its TouchWiz technology for U.S. market and it seems that Alltel Wireless could be the first carrier which will sell a handset with that feature. Beside the TouchWiz technology which is used on 3 inches 262k color TFT touch-screen, the Delve phone has a virtual QWERTY keyboard, and ‘drag and drop’ widgets for a customizable user interface.
The handset also features a 2 megapixel camera on the back with a video capability, a MP3 player for playing your favorite music, Bluetooth with A2DP profile and microSD support. The Delve provides about 5 hours of talk and 14 days of standby. Other features are a built-in GPS, 3.5 mm headset jack, and Alltel’s services like Alltel Pic Transfer, Alltel Mobile Advisor, City Id, Collapse Chaos and Wallpaper Universe.
For pre-sale it’s already available at alltel.com for $199.99 after $100 mail in rebate but customers who want to wait a little more days can get it at retail stores on November 6.

The qwerty landscape mode in email can be accessed by the ‘entry mode’ key. (center key under the t9 keyboard) Your finger went right past it a couple of times. I was yelling at the screen, “right there, dude!”
I’m kinda surprised you hadn’t discovered it after several weeks of use. Good review, otherwise.
I’ve been using the delve for a few days now and really like it.
This is no iPhone, no question. But those interested in having most of the same bells/whistles in a very sleek, solid and in a much more compact package really should give this handset serious consideration.
