Alltel likes colors, from gloss black to fire red -- so it's no wonder that one of the handset staples in its inventory is getting new skins for all kinds of personalities and tastes. The LG AX8600 is apparently
available not available in several new colors from CDMA carrier Alltel even though that handset was
brought to life as the VX8600 by larger CDMA fan Verizon Wireless last summer. While we're still not sure Alltel has the "
largest network", at least the carrier does have some decently-packed phones as of late. But, right now, we still can't find the AX8600 for pre-order in these different skins available at Alltel's website. It was there briefly, but it's gone as of this second. Until it reappears, here's a nice pic of the Verizon version in plain ole' black to tide you over.
Update, 2-27-07, 12:02pm CST: Alltel's page with the newly-colored AX8600s is up now. Hopefully it stays there (Thanks Brent!)

I think that I saw this phone in the new alltel commercial for text messages and chad is holding it in green. Its kinda hard to see but I think thats what phone it is.
Heres an update: The AX8600 will be available in three colors which are blue, green, and a sandy color. Alltel stores are allready starting to recieve the blue version and accesories for the phone heres a picture of all three colors:

@1: I knew I wasn't crazy. Yeah, that's definitely the 8600 he's got on him. Ugly green, though.
We got our blue, green and the gold color in the store today...
On the links I found today they are saying the AX8600 is tri-mode. Any truth to that?
