Samsung, Sprint Team Up With Beyonce On B'Phone
You people are IDIOTS
The SGH-F300 Ultra Music (aka upstage) was marketed all across Europe with Beyonce in print and televison advertisements. THAT'S why Beyonce's attached to this phone.
Get a clue before you sound like an uneducated moron next time with all this "ghetto" garbage. SAMSUNG has the contact with Beyonce not Sprint.

Some of the comments below strike me as borderline racist. I'm surprised the moderator hasn't deleted some of this garbage.

Samsung released two versions of the Upstage without Beyonce on it through Sprint. If she is attached to because of a contract then why wasn't she attached to the first to versions?

The same reason the red wasn't released from the get go. You release a steady steam of updates to keep the product moving along.

they've updated nothing just changed colors. The phone is kinda lame in the first place add Beyonce to it an dit becomes lame and for a very specific market.

What does that have to do with anything at all? The word gay originally referred to something being colorful. Its origin has nothing to do with its usage, in this context. Also, ghetto did not refer to "Jews before it became what it is in the USA," just the area in which they lived; it began as a noun and evolved into an adjective.

its a stupid idea, Beyonce is cool if you like her, but why would you want a phone with her name on it? Are we gonna see a Shakira Nokia or a Mariah Carey Motorola next. There is no reason for this phone to exist. The idea is stupid and if you wanna look stupid then go get the phone. 😁
