Though it's far from the largest carrier in the United States, Alltel is not shy when it comes to promoting new technologies. It was the first U.S. carrier to introduce the Fastap-enabled LG AX490, and now with its new Samsung SCH-U520, Alltel unveils a completely new cell phone interface. Celltop allows users to organize information on the phone's display without having to search through multiple menus to find it. Though it's not quite perfect, Celltop earns points for originality and certainly is a solid step toward making cell phones easier to use. On the practical side, the SCH-U520's design is unexceptional and the call quality was uneven, but the phone offers some nice features such as a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, a speakerphone, and a microSD card slot. You can get the phone for a reasonable $59 with service.
