U.S. Cellular plans to launch seven Android-based smartphones, including one featuring 4G LTE capabilities, two tablets and their first Microsoft Windows Phone 7 device this year. According to Fierce Wireless, four HTC devices will be the first to debut over the summer and one of the phones will use WP7. After the summer launch, they'll be debuting their first tablet from HTC in the fall, which will feature a 7-inch screen and be powered by Android OS. U.S. Cellular hasn't revealed the name of manufacture that will provide their first LTE smartphone at this time. The target date for their LTE deployment will be November launching 24 markets, covering 25 to 30 percent of its total subscriber base, which will be made possible by outfitting around 1,250 cell sites with LTE on the 700Mhz spectrum.
