Samsung Galaxy S III Lands at U.S. Cellular


With the past few weeks bringing the Samsung Galaxy S III to Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile consumers, it looks like the smartphone is now available to U.S. Cellular customers too, as the device is now available for purchase online.
The Galaxy S III from U.S. Cellular is essentially identical to the version offered by the larger carriers. It runs the same Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, is equipped with Samsung's own TouchWiz flavor, and features an 8 megapixel camera on the back. Packing a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, the device sports a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED 1280 x 720 resolution display. Just like its Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T counterparts, U.S. Cellular's version is 4G LTE capable.
The 16GB version of the Samsung smartphone is currently selling online for $200, after a $100 mail-in rebate, in either white or blue, with the phone hitting store shelves later this week. The 32GB iteration of the device will be available soon after, with a price tag of $250, after a $100 mail-in rebate.
While the four major national networks have been offering the Samsung Galaxy S III for weeks, it's rare that regional carriers get new devices so quickly.
