Alltel Wireless, America's largest network, announced today that the innovative Fastap™ keypad, created by Digit Wireless, is now available exclusively for its customers on the LG AX490 phone. Available beginning Aug. 3, the LG AX490 is the only phone in the United States to feature this cutting-edge technology.
The Fastap keypad allows for dual levels of functionality by integrating the traditional 12-number keypad with raised buttons for each letter of the alphabet. The keyboard simplifies virtually every phone function and provides easier and faster access to mobile phone-based applications including text messaging, instant messaging, picture and Web browsing.
Fastap meets the growing needs of Alltel Wireless' customers by providing a groundbreaking technology that allows for quicker and easier data entry and retrieval, while keeping with the traditional phone design. For example, customers who download Alltel's Axcess Instant Messaging application to their LG AX490 now have an affordable, easy, seamless and always-on mobile messaging experience.
