US Cellular’s Samsung Galaxy S II will have a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen, a 1.2 GHz dual-core Samsung processor, an 8 MP rear camera with LED flash, 16 GB of built-in storage space, and it will (sadly) run Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The Swype keyboard will come preinstalled.

 It will set you back $299 after $100 mail-in-rebate. Don’t get too excited though, because this new Galaxy S II will only use USCC’s 3G network and not their LTE network.
