If you were salivating over the Samsung Galaxy S II last May, but were bummed because you're on U.S. Cellular, you'll be happy to hear that it is available on the carrier's network right now.

For customers who are eligible for an upgrade, the device is $249.99 after you sign up for a two-year agreement and send in a $100 rebate.

The device has a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and has a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU.

It also has an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash and can support a 32GB microSD card.

Given the size of it, this might not be the most comfortable phone for everybody, but if you're on U.S. Cellular, it might be worth checking out.
