. Samsung and US Cellular have announced the Samsung Gloss SCH-u440, a budget clamshell messaging phone. Intended for straightforward text messaging, rather than hardcore email use, the Samsung Gloss has a full QWERTY keyboard and a powder-compact style casing, together with a 1.3-megapixel camera and stereo Bluetooth support.


There’s also an integrated mediaplayer, which will happily load up songs from the microSD card slot. Cards up to 16GB are supported. The Gloss also allows access to US Cellular’s easyedge service, which comprises turn-by-turn navigation, news and weather apps, games and more. A ringtone download service is also offered.

The Gloss measures 2.55 x 2.94 x 0.82 inches and has a 2.2-inch QCIF display. No word on price as yet.
