>> I'm Nicole Lee, associate editor for CNET.com, and this is a First Look at the Samsung Gloss from US Cellular. As you can see here, it has a very adorable square-shaped design here. On the front here is a camera lens and underneath that is a 1.1-inch external display. Open it up, and you get a very nice 2.2-inch display here, plus a full QWERTY keyboard. You get the typical two soft keys, as well as a four-way navigation toggle here. The keyboard is pretty spacious. The keys are raised above the surface, so it's really easy to quickly type out a text message. Features of the Samsung Gloss include Bluetooth, a wireless web browser, GPS functionality, email, and the afore mentioned 1.3 megapixel camera. There's no camcorder here, however. The Samsung Gloss is $29.95 after rebate and a two-year service agreement with US Cellular. My name is Nicole Lee. This has been a First Look at the Samsung Gloss. ^M00:01:01 [ Music ]
