Last month, US Cellular officially announced that it would be selling the HTC Merge. Back then, the only release time frame the carrier committed to was "next month" - meaning this month, April. Now that the source are approaching the end of the month, we are starting to receive new information about the Merge's US Cellular debut.
It looks like the carrier will barely make its initial target. According to a leaked screenshot of an internal document that Android Central got a hold of, the HTC Merge will become available from US Cellular on 29 April.
Let's all take a moment and appreciate that its not 30 April; since that too could have technically been inside US Cellular's self-declared release window, after all. Anyway, the HTC Merge looks like its slowly going to reach store shelves, after months and months of speculation and leaks.
Aside from US Cellular, its also on its way to Alltel. As for Verizon, the situation is still uncertain. But judging from the fact that press shots of the device sporting Big Red's branding have leaked a couple of weeks ago, Verizon selling the HTC Merge seems more plausible than ever.
