Kyocera unveils new texting phones at CTIA Wireless 2009 |
Of all the people I know who use cell phones, the single most common application they use is texting. A few of my friends text pretty much constantly and prefer texting to voice calls, which many users do. For the heavy text user, a phone that is designed for easy texting is necessary.
Kyocera has announced two new phones that are aimed at heavy text users and have a low price. The first of the two handsets is the Kyocera G2GO M2000 slider. A full QWERTY keyboard slides out in landscape mode for easy texting. The device supports Bluetooth, SMS, EMS, MMS, IM, and POP3/IMPA email. A 1.3-megapixel camera phone is built-in and memory expansion is up to 8GB with a microSD card.


Kyocera intro’d two new CDMA phones, the G2GO M2000 & Laylo M1400, at CTIA 2009. Both are sliders on the budget end of the spectrum. The Kyocera G2GO M2000 sports a 2.4-inch display. Some main features include e-mail, speakerphone, messaging, 1.3-megapixel camera, microSD card slot, WAP browser, voice dialing, personal organizer, Bluetooth with stereo, 500-contact phone book, 3G support and of course, a music player.
Kyocrea Wireless recently unveiled a new portable router which supports 802.11n (Draft 2.0) for faster wireless connections. The Kyocera KR2 Mobile Router will be available sometime in early 2008.
Virgin Mobile USA is upping its mobile phone ante today with the introduction of its first handset with streaming music capability. The new Kyocera Wild Card is priced at around $100.
If you’re looking for a device that will allow you to stream wirelessly the songs you have in your phone or digital music player straight into your home entertainment system, Kyocera’s Bluetooth Music Gateway may fit your bill.
