Cricket tacks on Samsung’s Stunt

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Looking for a rightful successor to your at this time-aging SCH-R211? Samsung and Cricket would like you to look no further than the SCH-R100 Stunt, a dead ringer for the candybar of the same name that launched on MetroPCS back in December of last year. It turns out this is a little bit more than your average ultra-basic phone, though: Cricket says this device is introducing Bluetooth to the lowest tier of its lineup, a particularly useful feature at this time that using the handset while driving is a no-no in many jurisdictions. It’s available at this time (contract free, naturally) for $99.99.

US Cellular follows Alltel’s lead, deploys Samsung Freeform

Monday, March 8th, 2010

If this contoured piece of QWERTY kit looks familiar, it should — it’s the same as the Freeform that came late last year to Alltel. US Cellular’s version is the same thing (heck, it’s even the same color) with a 1.3 megapixel camera, 2.2-inch 176 x 144 display, four-row QWERTY keyboard, and memory expansion up to 16GB via microSD, perfect for the on-board MP3 player (and if you’re not a music kind of person, it’ll take you a good long while to fill up 16GB worth of storage 1.3 megapixels at a time). Pricing and availability haven’t yet been declare, but we’d expect it to be pretty easy on the pocketbook.
