HTC Touch coming to US Cellular

Not only is good ol' US Cellular just now getting around to releasing the over year-old HTC Touch as its successor starts to hit the market, but it'll be doing so in a most unusual of colors: green. Oh, and it's not wasabi green, either -- more like a calming shade of forest, hunter, or myrtle. We don't know exactly when this sucker's going to hit, but dummies (pictured) are starting to show up in stores, so we suppose it won't be long.

[Thanks, uscc agent]

Update: Okay, so apparently the launch units are actually black, but does this dummy not look totally green? Probably just as well, since we can't think of anyone who'd take a forest green Touch over a black one.

I left USC for ATT just over a year ago because of their abysmal handset selection. At the time i was stuck on a ragedy v710, and was dieing for something like a kickass smartphone..all they had were old crappy blackberrys :-/

I currently have US Cellular and if I wanted an HTC Touch I would have switched to Alltel months ago. I'm Just waiting for Alltel/Verizon to get the Touch Pro(Raphael) before I jump.
