Motorola Electrify M available today from US Cellular, in stores tomorrow

The Motorola Electrify M for US Cellular is now available for purchase online. The handset will be in US Cellular’s retail stores tomorrow. The Android 4.0 device is essentially the regional carrier’s version of the Motorola Droid RAZR M, which recently launched for Verizon, and features an edge-to-edge qHD display measuring 4.3 inches, a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 CPU, and features such as an 8MP camera, NFC, and 4g LTE support.

Speaking of 4G LTE, pricing for the handset gets a little wonky depending on your coverage area. In areas where US Cellular offers 4G LTE services the phone is priced at $99 after a $100 mail-in rebate. For non-4G markets the phone is priced at $149 after the same $100 mail-in rebate.

While we haven’t had time to go hands-on with the Electrify M, if it’s anything like the Droid RAZR M (and it is a lot like that phone), it offers one of the better smartphone experiences you will get at the $100 price point. Solid build quality, great features, and a well-implemented Android experience. If you plan on picking the Electrify M up today or tomorrow, head over to Android Forums to join the discussion.

LG Optimus G, Sony Xperia TL now available from AT&T

The LG Optimus G and Sony Xperia TL are now available through AT&T. The devices can be found online and in stores, and pre-orders should be arriving at doorsteps today. The handsets serve as their respective manufacturer’s flagship Android devices for the second half of the year and both feature hardware that includes an HD display.

The Optimus G’s 4.7-inch screen is paired with a 1.5GHz quad-core processor and 2GB RAM. Unlike the version of the device that went on pre-order for Sprint yesterday, however, a 13MP camera has been switched out for an 8MP sensor. During testing, we found the phone to be quite impressive. The Xperia TL does feature a 13MP camera along with a 4.6-inch display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, and 1GB RAM.

Both devices ship with Ice Cream Sandwich and feature 4G LTE connectivity. The Optimus G is available for $199.99 on a new two-year contract while the Xperia TL comes in at an affordable $99.99. If you are planning on picking up either, head over to AndroidForums and join the discussion at our Optimus G and Xperia TL sections.
