US Cellular has had precious few truly low-cost smartphones running an Android build that wasn't baked in 2010 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/24/huawei-ascend-y-us-cellular/). For those who'd like something a little fresher, the ZTE Director is here. While it's only slightly ahead of the trailing edge with stock Ice Cream Sandwich, that's an improvement on a category where Gingerbread still rules. Likewise, no one will be floored by the 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 3.5-inch 480 x 320 screen, 4GB of storage (plus microSD slot) and 3-megapixel rear camera, although the 1,500mAh battery is ample for the size. We imagine that customers will mostly be enamored by the price -- when the Director costs a penny on contract and $200 contract-free, it may bring in those who'd have held on (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/12/verizon-new-prepaid-basic-plan/) to that basic flip phone for a little while longer.
