Low- and mid-range handsets are the bread and butter of a wireless carrier’s business, so it’s great to see mainstream phones getting trick features like A-GPS (Assisted Global Positioning Service). Alltel has picked up the LG AX380 as the LG Wave to pull double duty as a GPS phone and music phone. The A-GPS phone works with Alltel’s network to serve up driving directions for the navigationally-challenged. And, the dedicated touch-sensitive music controls, 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, microSD slot, and EVDO radio put the LG Wave AX380 at the higher-end of the middle road.
$80 (and a 2-year contract) will get you an LG Wave of your very own. Or, for $250, you can side-step that Alltel service contract.
