Portland, Oregon, June 2010 – Know what “QWERTY” means? First, it’s pronounced “kwer-tee” and if you’ll look down at your keyboard, it’s the first six keys at the upper left hand side of your keyboard. It’s the same for typewriters too, if you remember that ancient writing tool. And now, Consumer Cellular, which pronounces itself to be the exclusive wireless provider for AARP members, has added its first QWERTY cell phone to its product lineup – the Samsung a177. This new phone’s features include: • Candy bar design with full QWERTY keyboard; • 2.2 inch color display making talking, browsing and text messaging a breeze; • Bluetooth connectivity; • Hands-free speakerphone; and • Integrated camera. Available for $40, plus a $35 activation fee, the Samsung a177 can be purchased at: http://www.consumercellular.com/Info/Phones. “We recently polled our customers to learn what Consumer Cellular can be doing to better serve them.
