U.S. Cellular confirmed their Galaxy S handset, the Samsung Mesmerize, would go on sale October 27 at $199 after an $80 mail-in rebate. Like its Galaxy S siblings on other carriers, it featured a 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen, a 1GHz Samsung Hummingbird processor, Swype input, a 5-megapixel camera with HD video, Bluetooth 3.0, and microSD expandable to 32GB. It ran Android 2.1, with a Froyo update expected before the end of the year.
Preloaded U.S. Cellular apps included Your Navigator Deluxe, Tone Room Deluxe, My Contacts Backup, and CityID. The Mesmerize was the third of five Android phones U.S. Cellular was launching in 2010, with the LG Apex planned for November and the LG Optimus for December.
