Motorola announced a new Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone for US Cellular – ELECTRIFY M. Available on uscellular.com on November 8 and in the operator’s stores the next day, this Moto baby comes with a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Advanced qHD screen, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8-megapixel camera on the back, 1.3-megapixel front-facing one, 8GB of built-in storage, NFC, 3G/4G (LTE) and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS, Bluetooth and so on. In other words, we’re talking about US Cellular’s version of the DROID M. And yes, it should get its serving of Jelly Beans at some point in the future — though we’re not sure when that will happen exactly.
As for the price, the ELECTRIFY M will sell for $99.99 after $100 mail-in rebate in markets where the carrier offers LTE service and elsewhere for $149.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate. US Cellular, in partnership with King Street Wireless, currently offers 4G LTE service covering 31% of its customers and 58% of US Cellular customers will enjoy faster 4G LTE speeds by the end of the year.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
