U.S. Cellular’s pricing will, as expected, fall in line with AT&T and Sprint and it will run customers $299.99 on-contract. The device will be available in 16GB and it will be available both in stores and online through U.S. Cellular’s website.

Those who pre-ordered will see their pre-ordered Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ship out tomorrow though we’ve heard from at least one person who says that their order shipped out today. Customers who still wish to pre-order will still be able to do up until the end of the day tomorrow.

U.S. Cellular is a regional U.S. carrier which means that it won’t have the same type of 4G LTE footprint as the major U.S. carriers but it still promises to have 4G LTE coverage for 58% of its customer base by the end of 2012. Once its live, 4G LTE will deliver speeds of up to 10 times faster than typical 3G.
