Motorola Electrify coming to US Cellular this month as a rebranded Photon 4G

We is just not completely shocked by the inside track, but it’s great to listen to regardless. US Cellular announced the approaching availability of the Motorola Electrify, that is essentially its rebranded version of the Photon 4G — sans WiMAX, for sure. The device shall be ready to your purchase sometime later this month for $200, that is the identical starting cost as Sprint’s variant provided you do not think about the initial $100 mail-in rebate. The Electrify is a 1GHz dual-core handset with Android 2.3, a 4.3-inch qHD display, webtop support and 8MP rear / VGA front-facing camera set. We definitely love seeing powerhouses like this make it to the smaller carriers, so in case you are an interested US Cellular fanboy or girl, just make sure that you are not dying to determine what the corporate will offer when its LTE network launches .
