Alltel next to get Motorola K1m

If you've got your heart set on a MOTOKRZR K1m but you're not a Verizon customer, hold your horses -- Verizon has strangely failed to secure an exclusivity agreement on this one, and odds are the CDMA carrier of your choice will be picking 'er up before too long. Next up is Alltel, which is already taking preorders and looks to be shipping the curiously narrow RAZR successor on October 5. True, Alltel kiddies have had to wait a few more days than their Verizon brethren, but in exchange for the delay, they won't have to deal with Verizon's much-maligned custom UI.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
