U.S. Cellular joins the ranks of Alltel Wireless as the second U.S. carrier to launch the music-centric LG Rhythm slider.  For just $80 after rebate and the choice of a 1 or 2-year contract, this LG phone delivers on its promise of style and audio functionality.  The Rhythm comes with a standard 3.5mm headphone jack for maximum compatibility, a graphic equalizer for audiophiles and a FM radio.  On Top of the music features, the device offers GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 and a microSDHC slot capable of handling up to 16GB memory cards.

NEW PHONES ALLOW CONSUMERS TO GIVE MORE FOR LESS

Value might be the key word that describes the upcoming holiday shopping season as many people plan to tighten their budgets during this down economy. Savvy shoppers can give family members and friends the gift of wireless Internet, music and instant communication without spending a fortune.

“Smart phones allow people to get their work done on the run,” said Alan Ferber, vice president of sales operations and chief marketing officer for U.S. Cellular. “From business people who don’t want to be tied to a desk and computer to parents trying to coordinate hectic schedules and teenagers looking to surf the Internet, there’s a phone under $100 for everyone.”

For the Trendsetter – Touch screens are a big trend in phones. With a simple brush of a fingertip, users can navigate from one function to the next. The Samsung Delve features an on-screen QWERTY keyboard that allows e-mails to be sent easier for people used to typing on a keyboard. Web browsing and Your Navigator GPS system comes free with the Delve’s Premium Internet Plan. The trendy crowd also will appreciate the ability to customize this phone’s display screen.

For the Music Lover – When seeking a smart phone with an upscale MP3 player, the new LG Rhythm offers premium audio quality, a mechanical wheel with tactile feedback and a touch-screen that will access music faster. The Rhythm also includes a built-in FM transmitter. U.S. Cellular carries this phone exclusively in pink, as well as black.

For People on the Go – A BlackBerry maintains schedules, messages and memories in one place. The Curve and Pearl are popular because they incorporate e-mail, Internet, video recording and have a built-in GPS. The Pearl is free with a mail-in rebate and activation.

The 8,700 associates of U.S. Cellular believe a wireless phone enhances people’s lives and a wireless company should be in the business of bringing people together. U.S. Cellular has a wide range of monthly plans, including those with unlimited nationwide calling, unlimited free incoming calls and options to prepay. The company has a growing catalog of phones like the BlackBerry® Pearl and Curve, and the touch-screen Samsung Delve, which offer e-mail and Web access. Based in Chicago, U.S. Cellular is the nation’s sixth-largest wireless carrier, serving 6.2 million customers across the country.
