CHICAGO, Oct. 6, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- U.S. Cellular (NYSE:USM) is
providing its customers with another mobile tablet to choose from in
its portfolio of cutting-edge devices, the 7-inch HTC Flyer(TM). The
Android(TM)-powered tablet is small enough to hold in one hand and
powerful enough to run all of the e-mail, web, entertainment and
productivity applications you need to organize and simplify your life.
The HTC Flyer is available for $399.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate
along with purchase of a 5 GB data plan, and $599.99 after a $100
mail-in rebate along with purchase of a 200 MB data plan. Customers can
connect their HTC Flyer via Wi-Fi or U.S. Cellular's high-speed
nationwide network, which has the highest call quality and network
satisfaction of any national carrier.

"The HTC Flyer helps you get more done during your day, so you can
spend more time enjoying its entertainment options with your family,
like watching videos, listening to music or reading e-books," said
Edward Perez, vice president of sales and marketing operations for U.S.
Cellular. "Our associates can help you personalize it with apps and
widgets to fit your lifestyle, and that's one of the reasons we have
the happiest customers in wireless."

The HTC Flyer is powered by a 1.5 Ghz Snapdragon processor to zip
through helpful applications, play games and watch TV and movies with
stunning clarity. The Flyer comes with 32 GB of internal memory to
store all of your music and videos, and comes with dual cameras (5
megapixel in the rear and 1.3 megapixel in the front) for customers who
want to stay connected to friends, family and colleagues through
videoconferencing apps. An optional HTC Scribe(TM) pen can highlight
text, make notes, draw and even sign documents right on the screen.

U.S. Cellular customers also get unique benefits, like free Battery
Swap and a rewards program where they get points for paying monthly
wireless bills on time, adding a line or referring new customers.

Customers can also download the U.S. Cellular Family Organizer, a free
app that helps families stay connected with everyone's appointments,
shopping lists, work schedules and family photos, all in one place.
Shopping is easier on the HTC Flyer with the new Amazon storefront app,
exclusive for U.S. Cellular customers, to shop Amazon.com and access
850,000 Kindle e-books. And, on-demand movies, videos and TV shows are
just a few clicks away with HTC Watch(TM).

The HTC Flyer runs the Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) operating system
with HTC Sense(TM), a convenient way to quickly access information and
your favorite apps. The eight homescreens on the HTC Flyer can be
personalized with widgets and apps that put the most important features
at your fingertips, which is one of the many benefits of all
Android-powered devices.

To help tablet and smartphone users get the most out of their devices,
U.S. Cellular hosts free in-store Device Workshops. Associates guide
