Samsung Gloss comes to US Cellular

by Chris Ziegler posted May 26th 2009 at 1:59PM

Look familiar? Yep, this is US Cellular's version of the Cleo, a fun little clamshell that does battle with LG's Lotus by offering a full QWERTY keyboard in a stubby clamshell layout. Don't expect much feature-wise -- it's got a 176 x 144 display, for instance -- but you've still got a music player with stereo Bluetooth support and microSD expansion, a 1.3 megapixel camera, and of course, that text-tastic QWERTY pad. Look for it the carrier's stores in your choice of black and pink; we don't have pricing information, but we suspect it won't break the bank on contract.

The difference is that with the Lotus you could actually convince yourself that it didn't look like a makeup accessory. You can not do this with the Gloss. Just try it. It won't work.

If Samsung was smart, they made the screen ridiculously glossy so that it would double as a mirror

Does it COME with a best friend, or will I have to find one of those for myself?

It comes with one, bubblewrap and all. :)
Oh PS don't forget to wind 'em up everyday, or else they'll stop working.

I got mine for $60 with a new contract and USCC Offers a $50 mail in rebate with 3 months Of Easyedge data service. Got one just a few days ago as a graduation present.

The website lists at $160 minus $80 on a 2-year contract brining it to $80 before the above mentioned Easyedge rebate.

Pretty decent phone for the price.
