    The Good: The Samsung Gloss is compact and lightweight with a nice display and a great QWERTY keyboard.

    The Bad: The Samsung Gloss doesn't have a very good camera or music player.

    The Bottom Line: If you're not looking for a lot of features, the Samsung Gloss is a nice and compact messaging phone for U.S. Cellular customers.
