Samsung and Alltel have announced the Samsung SCH-r800 Delve, a new full touchscreen cell phone with a 2 megapixel camera. The Delve uses Samsung's TouchWiz user interface on its 3" 240x400 pixel resolution touchscreen to offer a friendly user experience. The TouchWiz user interface allows users to drag-and-drop widgets onto a special home screen, for the ultimate in personalization.
The Samsung Delve features a standard 3.5mm headset port in addition to Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support for stereo headsets. The music features are enhanced with a microSD card slot, so you can store hundreds of MP3s for mobile entertainment.
The Samsung Delve supports Alltel's high-speed EV-DO network, for super-fast data speeds, but the svelte 12.7mm (.5") thick phone should still slip easily into your pocket. The Samsung SCH-r800 Delve is available today for pre-order, priced at $199.99 after a 2-year commitment and $100 mail-in rebate. The phone is set to be available in stores and online on November 7th.
