R470 just passed FCC muster this week, and as Phone Scoop astutely notes, the manual's mention of "easyedge" indicates that the dazzlingly orange clamshell will likely see duty on US Cellular.

Samsung R470 spied, headed to US Cellular
Boy Genius Report — ... with a sizable control pad and (stereo?) speakers beneath it. When flipped open, the R470 becomes far less interesting and looks like any old clamshell of 10 years ago.

New Samsung R470 clamshell at FCC for US Cellular
Phones Review — ... Samsung R470 clam features fairly comprehensive external controls probably with a music slant, Bluetooth, dedicated camera key, dual displays, headphone jack, and microSD expansion slot. Apparently the “draft user manual” refers to “easyedge” which probably indicated this Samsung orange coloured clamshell is heading for US Cellular. Strangely though the Samsung R470 isn’t mentioned on the FCC as having EV-DO which seems strange for a mobile phone of this sort. Source – phonescoop ...
