If you’re one of U.S. Cellular’s 6.1 million customers and you’ve been just aching for a Windows Phone handset, your only option so far has been… erm… deal with it.

Deal no longer! This morning, U.S. Cellular added their first WP7 handset, the HTC 7 Pro, to their arsenal.

As one of the first WP7 handsets that Microsoft ever showed (and as the handset that Sprint launched as the “Arrive” back in February), this thing’s not exactly brand new — but hey, beggars can’t be choosers. Not that anyone who can afford a $200 phone is really a “beggar”. but still.

Speaking of which, the HTC 7 Pro will set you back $200 after contract and $100 mail-in rebate.
