U.S. Cellular Teams Up With Product Red

U.S Cellular is doing a good thing by teaming up with Motorola in their national campaign for Product Red. The campain essentially donates a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the phone to help the global fund in helping women and children affected by HIV and AIDS in Africa. This is a great thing to partake in and I'm glad to see U.S Cellular is doing their part in this global effort. The V3m is the current flagship phone for Product red and can be found at all U.S cellular dealers nationwide. Please check their websites and try your best to contribute to such a good cause.

Samsung R500 for U.S. Cellular

U.S. Cellular has now included the Samsung R500 in their list of mobile phones. For as low as $99.95, it might be a good deal. But before you shell out your bucks, it is imperative that you know beforehand, good or bad, what this mobile phone is all about.
As for the visual details, this clamshell from Samsung looks like it has been cloned from the Motorola RAZR. But looks can be deceiving, too. Though it's possible that the Samsung R500 is the RAZR's long lost identical twin, the R500 trumps the RAZR both on features and performance.

The Samsung R500 is packed with a huge assortment of features. Weighing at 95 grams, it is one of the lightest phones ever. It is Bluetooth-enabled, so you can connect, share, and download with ease. The photos taken with its 1.3 mega pixel camera are very good. Probably the best picture quality I have seen from a mobile phone so far. Phone conversations with the R500 reveal the crisp and clear sound quality from both ends. There might be a little background noise but not enough to cause any distractions. The R500 has also players for music and videos. Nice.

On talk time, the R500 gives you a decent 3.5 hours. The R500 can also go on stand by for 20 days. Cell phone batteries should last like that. You can also customize the R500 with interchangeable cell phone cases from a long list of Samsung cell phone accessories. From my point of view, the Samsung R500 certainly delivers the good withouth any hitch. That said, the $99.95 deal seems a good buy.
