U.S. Cellular’s Android roster grew by one with the Samsung Gem, available April 1 for $29.99 after an $80 mail-in rebate. Hardware included a 3.2-inch touchscreen with anti-scratch, anti-smudge, and anti-reflective glass, a 3.2-megapixel camera, a 4GB microSD card, and a 1500mAh battery. While it wasn’t going to impress tech enthusiasts, it was a compelling deal for anyone moving up from a feature phone.
Current U.S. Cellular customers in the Belief Program who were already eligible for an upgrade could get the promotional price without signing another contract.
