It's far from the Droid, but Motorola added a new touch-screen phone to U.S. Cellular'slineup on Thursday. The Crush runs Moto's standard operating system on a 2.8-inch display. Features include messaging, a music player, a 3.5mm headset jack, a 2-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, and a microSD card slot.
The Crush costs $89.95 with a two-year service agreement (regular price $249.95), but a $50 mail-in rebate will knock the price down to an affordable $39.95.
Samsung is launching two new phones with U.S. Cellular dubbed the Samsung Trill and Samsung Caliber. The Trill reminds us of the Samsung Trance due to the similar design and features. It has sound technology by Bang & Olufsen ICEpower, a music player with an external music player control, a 1.3-megapixel camera, a speakerphone, stereo Bluetooth, support for microSD cards up to 32GB.
The Caliber, on the other hand, is a touch-screen phone complete with Samsung's TouchWiz user interface. It measures 4.55 inches by 2.23 inches by 0.47 inches and has a 3.2-inch … Read more

With the Palm Pre and Apple iPhone 3G S grabbing so much attention in the last couple of weeks, you might think that basic phones are becoming extinct. But don't worry, as that is far from the truth. Even this week when fancy smartphones are all the rage, Samsung and U.S. Cellular have got your back.
The new Samsung Axle has a minimalist flip phone design in simple gray. Cell phone watchers will recognize that the Axle shares its shape with MetroPCS' Samsung Byline. Features are low-end, but functional. You'll find Bluetooth, a speakerphone, voice commands, messaging, … Read more
Last week, Alltel announced that it has added the LG Tritan to its lineup. A sideways slider phone with a full QWERTY keyboard, the Tritan is a messaging phone with a 3-inch touch screen display.
Features include a 3-megapixel camera with flash and autofocus, a camcorder, stereo Bluetooth, GPS, a microSD card slot, EV-DO Rev. A, GPS, a HTML browser, and more. Alltel is charging $99.99 for the phone after a $100 mail-in rebate and a one-year service agreement.
It also seems the LG Tritan might make its way to U.S. Cellular, as these leaked photos on Boy Genius Report … Read more
Square phones like the LG Lotus may look rather peculiar, but it appears the trend is beginning to catch on. On Tuesday, Samsung launched its own square phone, the Gloss for U.S. Cellular.
Like the Lotus, the Gloss (aka the SCH-U440) has a square shape and a full QWERTY keyboard for texting. It comes in gray and pink and each color has a unique design on the front face.
Features include a 1.3-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, a music player, a personal organizer, a wireless Web browser, GPS with navigation services, voice recognition, a speakerphone, and a microSD card … Read more
As of Tuesday, U.S. Cellular is offering a free Battery Swap program at its stores. All you need to do is bring a dead or dying battery to a U.S. Cellular store and you can change it out for a new charged one.
The carrier says it created the program to help customers who need a fully charged battery right away or want to replace an older battery that doesn't hold a charge. Of course, there's a catch: you will need to be a U.S. Cellular customer who has purchased a U.S. Cellular phone … Read more
Regional carrier U.S. Cellular doesn't quite have the robust smartphone lineup as the big guys, but it's been slowly beefing up its offerings. Its latest acquisition is the HTC Touch Pro, which is available now for $249.95 with a two-year contract and after rebates.
Like we said when Verizon recently launched the HTC Touch Diamond for Verizon, the HTC Touch Pro is a little late to come to U.S. Cellular, considering it's been out for a few months now and the HTC Touch Pro2 is on its way. However, the chances of the latter … Read more
We mentioned that the LG Banter would be available from U.S. Cellular back at CTIA 2009, but U.S. Cellular just made it official with pricing. The design is similar to that of the LG Rumor 2, and is pretty identical to the LG Banter for Alltel.
It has the number keypad on the front like on a candy bar phone, plus it has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard for easier messaging. Features are about the same as the Banter for Alltel; it has a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, music player, GPS, and changeable faceplates. It is available for $49.… Read more
Even though the LG Wine was released back in January, we weren't able to have a hands-on with the device until CTIA 2009. The Wine comes in this nice burgundy color to go along with the wine theme, and is a simple mid-tier flip phone from U.S. Cellular. There's also a white version.
The most unique thing about the Wine is that it has four dedicated hot keys underneath the display. They correspond to the messaging interface, the alarm clock, the images folder, and the U.S. Cellular's easyedge Web portal. It also has a very … Read more
