Samsung R470 revealed by the FCC; Heading to U.S. Cellular

Thanks to the FCC, we know a new device is heading towards U.S. Cellular’s portfolio. It’s the music-centric Samsung R470, which as you can see from the image above, looks quite decent. That being said, it’s far from a high-end phone (just like most of U.S. Cellular’s offering, to be honest) — rather, it’s a low-to-mid ranger designed for those people who need a simple to use, yet elegant mobile phone that can also work as an MP3 player. In that sense, with dedicated music control keys, headphone jack, external speakers and microSD card slot – the dual-band CDMA R470 clamshell could prove to be a hit for the carrier.

We’ve no information about the availability, but something tells me with CES just around the corner, we’ll have more to report within days. Stay tuned…
