LG Swift clamshell launches for $49.99 on Alltel

So, you're looking for simplicity, huh? Have a gander at the LG Swift, which is now available on Alltel Wireless for those with the most basic of needs. The clamshell boasts a "next-generation keypad featuring Fastap Press-to-Experience keys, which integrates six raised one-touch access Quick Keys with a traditional numeric keypad," and beyond that, it also offers up external music control buttons, twin speakers, Bluetooth support, a 1.3-megapixel camera, one-touch speakerphone and a memory card slot. Sadly, the headphone jack is of the 2.5-millimeter variety, though you can choose between red and blue color schemes. If you're sold already, all's that left to do is hand over your $49.99 and agree to being locked in for two solid years.

Engineer1: "Hey, what's the most inconvenient place we could put these function keys?"
Engineer2: "Hmm... How about under the battery?"
Engineer1: "Not bad but I'm thinking something a little bit more annoying."
Engineer2: "I've got it! Let's put them in the MIDDLE OF THE FREAKING KEYPAD. That way, every time you're typing a text message, the camera will suddenly engage!"
Engineer1: "Brilliant!"
