  • A thickness of 0.31 inches.. can you even call that thickness?
  • CDMA and EVDO support
  • Bluetooth wireless technology
  • microSD slot
  • Integrated music player
  • 1.3 megapixel digital camera with 8x digital zoom and LED flash
  • Video recording
  • Support for Axcess TV
  • XM Radio Mobile
  • Push to talk capabilities
  • 45 MB of user memory
  • Measures 4.45 x 1.97 x 0.33 inches
  • Internal display has a resolution of 176 x 220 with 262K colors
  • External display has a resolution of 176 x 65 with 65K colors
  • 3.6 hour talk time and 373 hour standby time
  • Supports SMS, EMS, and MMS
  • Predictive text
  • Calendar, Scheduler, To-Do list, Clock, Alarm, Memo book, Calculator, Stop Watch, and countdown timer
  • Speakerphone, voice recognition, video caller ID

Yes – it’s a super thin phone but how does it fare in the review?

At just $50 after rebate, the Wafer is a quality budget phone for users who live, work, and play inside Alltel’s coverage area, especially if you need to have the thinnest cell phone in town. If you live on a coast or in a large city, though, you’d be better off going with the slightly chunkier Motorola RAZR V3xx from AT&T.
