I have been looking for a new phone for some time now, just recently my old phone finally lost it’s screen function and was put out of its misery. I have been a customer with Alltel Wireless for about 3 years now and since my husband and I are in good standing with them we were able to purchase the brand new Alltel Hue for just $39.99. Here I will give you my take on the Alltel Hue by Samsung, and let you decide if the Alltel Hue is for you!
Price
When shopping for a new phone one of the most important things I look for is a good price. Not too cheap, not too expensive. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for, so the free phones and 1 dollar phones weren’t going to do it for me. I was drawn to the Alltel Hue because of its sale price which was only $39.99 after $140.00 instant savings and $50.00 mail in rebate. The phone with tax cost us just over $90.00 with tax and retails for $229.00 out right. I was able to purchase a moderately priced phone for very cheap, which is a big selling point to me.
Features
The phone has many great features which was another main reason I was drawn to it. Some of the features the Alltel Hue has to offer are:
-Changeable Face Plates
-Camera
-Video
-GPS Capabilities
-Bluetooth Enabled
-Expandable Memory Slot
-MP3 with Jump Music Capabilities
-Celltop
Having Changeable Face Plates is completely awesome! The face plates cover the entire back of the phone and the front on two sides. I like this because I can change the color of my phone as often as I like. It’s like getting a new phone every day if I wanted. And if the faceplate’s get scratched I can simply put on a new one and the phone will look good as new! You cannot tell that the face plates are replaceable as they contour to the phone perfectly. The phone comes with a red face plate and blue face plate. All other colors have to be purchased seperate.
In todays world Camera and Video are a must! From the terrorist attack on London to Kramer’s crazy racial outburst, all of these and many others were caught on cell phone video cameras. Having this media in your phone could be very entertaining and who knows, may even pay off one day!
Bluetooth and GPS capabilities are becoming pretty standard now-a-days, however some newer phones still do not have these advancements. The Alltel Hue comes Bluetooth enabled and has the capability to provide a GPS service for an extra monthly cost.
Along with an expandable memory slot comes an MP3 player. There aren’t that many phones that are under $229.00 that offer an MP3 player,the Alltel Hue does. For $229.00 you get all of these great features! And if you are in good standing you could get it for $39.99 like I did. I hate to sound like a sales woman here but this is a really great deal!
Alltel has come up with a neat way for you to access all the important information you would need to know and have it available to you with one push of a button. They call it “Celltop”, Cell top comes preloaded in the Alltel Hue and has all kinds of features from Messaging and Email to Sports and Weather. Celltop puts the things you need to know right at your fingertips. The only cost to use Celltop is airtime minutes or you could purchase an unlimited Celltop plan for $10.00 a month.
Standard Features
The Alltel Hue comes with standard features such as:
-Calendar
-Memo
-Tip Calculator
-Calculator
-World Clock
-Stop Watch
-Alarm Clock
One standard feature that I like is that you can change the dialing font and size on your phone. You can also change the style and color of your display icons. My favorite by far is the external display. The external display is bright red but when it’s fully charged it will let you know by turning bright green.
Accessories
Some accessories offered for the Alltel Hue are:
-3 pack changeable face plates in yellow, pink and green for $39.99
-Jump Music Pack with USB cable, Mircordisc and headphones for downloading music onto your phone. $79.99
-A multitude of different headsets from different brands ranging from $99-$200.
Summary
If you couldn’t already tell I would definitely recommend this phone. It has so many great features and even at it’s full retail price of $229.00 it more than pays for it’s self in the long run. For more information on the Alltel Hue click here.
