Regional CDMA carrier US Cellular has announced that its first Windows Phone 7 device, the HTC 7 Pro, will hit stores on Tuesday, June 14.

Previously only Sprint offered the HTC 7 Pro, which it inexplicably rebranded as the HTC Arrive.

The HTC 7 Pro features a 1-GHz (first-generation) Snapdragon processor, 3.6-inch tilted touch screen, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and a 5-megapixel camera. It also comes with a digital compass, GPS, and Xbox Live integration, along with popular Windows Phone 7 apps like Netflix and NBA Game Time (but no Angry Birds!).

For more, see PCMag's review of the HTC Arrive (Sprint), in which mobile analyst Sascha Segan said it was a well-built smartphone that unfortunately couldn't access Sprint's 4G network.

US Cellular recommends its Primary Plus Plan to complement the HTC 7 Pro. For $79.99 a month you'll get 5GB of data, unlimited text, picture, and video messaging, 450 voice minutes, free incoming calls, free nights and weekends, and free mobile-to-mobile calls.

Although US Cellular only covers in 26 states, it has won PCMag's Readers' Choice Award for carriers every year since 2007.

The HTC 7 Pro on US Cellular costs $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and two-year contract.
