LG Banter comes to US Cellular

Quick: what has two keypads, changeable covers, and an LG logo plastered on it? The Banter, of course, which is shaping up to be a favorite for regional carriers everywhere. The low-cast text-centric device features both numeric and sliding QWERTY keypads (as anyone who scooped it up on Alltel already knows), a 1.3 megapixel camera, and microSD support up to 16GB; what it won't have is EV-DO -- but with a screen that small, users probably aren't going to care too much. Grab it now for $49.95 on two-year contract after rebate.

Hmmm ... That keyboard on a KS360 at the £120 price point Sim Free ... And i'd take consider it.

Then again, I already have a KS360 ... so no I wouldn't.

This phone has NO VIDEO.... I was very sad... I have to bring it back... Even the support people I talked to at US Cellular (all three of them) and the tech I called at LG were surprised... It is the only qwerty keyboard US Cellular provides with regular service, so if you want qwerty and video you have to go elsewhere or buy their internet plan... UGh... looked like a nice phone...
