Samsung R470 spied, headed to US Cellular
Ahhh, the good old FCC. Once again, our pals in Washington have treated us to a preview of an upcoming handset that had previously been under wraps. This time around we get a peak at the Samsung R470, a saucy CDMA clamshell destined for US Cellular. No, it’s not quite the Delve, but the R470 does have a bit of allure. Seemingly somewhat focused on multimedia, it looks like the handset has a nice big external display with a sizable control pad and (stereo?) speakers beneath it. When flipped open, the R470 becomes far less interesting and looks like any old clamshell of 10 years ago. Actually, this phone is kind of like a cellular mullet — business on the inside, party on the outside. While there is a big piece of the puzzle missing from the FCC documents, namely EV-DO, we’ll just hope those tests are covered in separate filings that will appear on the site down the line.

I actually like how this phone looks. Hopefully they make a few other colors besides the road workers orange (all black would look pretty sweet)

I’ve vomited better looking crap than this.
Hahaha I find it hilarious how Samsung stole the little circle scroll D-pad thing that’s on the front of the phone from the first generation LG Chocolate on Verizon.
