HTC Touch Pro, Samsung Gloss U440 and more headed to U.S. Cellular
The next few months will be busy for U.S. Cellular customers as five new handsets are rumored to be hitting the shelves by the end of June. Coming first is the HTC Touch Pro which is slated to arrive on April 17th. Following close on the heels of the Touch Pro is the Samsung Gloss U440, a white or charcoal clam shell with a QWERTY keyboard, integrated music player, stereo Bluetooth and 1.3 megapixel camera. Targeting a feminine audience with a penchant for texting, the Gloss will hit the shelves in early May. Shortly thereafter in mid-May, U.S. Cellular will debut the entry-level Samsung R311, a simple clam shell with Bluetooth, one-touch speakerphone and a VGA camera. Last but not least to arrive in mid-June are the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230, which needs no introduction, and the LG UX840. The LG UX840 will be a QWERTY slider with a 3″ QVGA touchscreen, 3.0 megapixel camera, integrated music player, stereo Bluetooth, full HTML browser, email support and GPS. The lineup is hardly confirmed considering the source is an anonymous forum post, but we imagine U.S. Cellular customers will be glad to hear about the possibility of some fresh blood coming their way.
Let’s hear it for the secondary cell phone gray market! YAY!
Hooray for cell phones that look like make-up compacts! Nobody’s going to steal that thing.
i can confirm this. however they missed 2 phones that are also slated to launch by June, but ill keep those a secret but give one hint, Windows mobile..
Wasn’t vzw supposed to get the CDMA Pearl flip 1st?
@ usccrep
Omnia? HTC Touch Diamond?
@ don louie
I think VZW is still trying to clear their inventory of the original Pearl with the buy one get 3 free…
not exactly. i guess u will have to wait and see. note that the Moto Q is end of life…..
The Samsumg Gloss looks like a reject Lotus!!!
Price for the pro yet.
The HTC Touch Pro will be 319.95 when you sign up for service, (existing customers get an extra 20 dollar credit on the first bill).
You will receive a 70 dollar rebate through the mail if you sign up for the $25 data package. So, in essence, you get the phone for 249.95 once you get the rebate.
The phone retails at 599.95, it is in stores today.
Lower end tier phones AGAIN– no Touch Pro 2 or updated Blackberrys…I hear USC is going to be giving customers who buy these phones a big white stick to put up their wazoos.. so they can be “All Day Suckers”!
Your alias shuld be “brownie” packer!
