LG Apex

US Cellular is launching the LG Apex this Friday November 19th 2010! This device will be joining the ranks with other currently available Android devices at US Cellular such as the Samsung Mesmerize, HTC Desire (which recently won the “Best Phone of the Year” Award ), and the Samsung Acclaim.

The Apex will cost $79.99 with a 2-year contract, after an $80 mail-in rebate. The LG Apex sports a full QWERTY slide-out keyboard, Android 2.1, 3 megapixel camera, and a 3.2 inch touchscreen display.

US Cellular to sell Galaxy Tab for $399 with a new contract

Rogers Samsung-Galaxy-Tab

Are you itching for a Galaxy Tab, but don’t want to go with one of the big carriers? Well, if US Cellular provides coverage in your area, you now have another option for nabbing what could turn out to be one of the biggest items this holiday season.

The carrier has announced that they will begin selling the Galaxy Tab for $399 (or $599 outright) with a new 2-year contract, beginning on November 19. Customers will then have two data plans to choose from: 200MB for $14.99 a month (ouch), or $54.99 for 5GB (ouch again). The later of the two does include mobile hotspot, but I really think a plan somewhere in the middle would have been a good option here.

With tablets being a relatively new thing for wireless providers, there’s bound to a few hiccups in terms of data plans. I firmly believe that as tablets become more common, the data plans will become far more reasonable.

With its 1GHz Hummingbird CPU and its gorgeous 4in Super-AMOLED screen, it’s no wonder that these phones are selling like hotcakes. Keep on reading for the full press release:

Acclaim to Hit U.S. Cellular Tomorrow

We reported a couple of weeks back that the Acclaim would be landing on U.S. Cellular tomorrow, and they sent out emails this morning as a reminder, so I wanted to remind those of you on U.S. Cellular who are waiting for a chance to get your hands on an Android phone that tomorrow is your big day.

So start calling stores this afternoon if you’re looking to get your hands on one.  And get there early…since U.S. Cellular isn’t exactly known for great phones, these could go fast.
