Kyocera M1000 Folds Out for Some QWERTY Hotness

Kyocera is jumping on the low-end QWERTY bandwagon with the M1000 announced today at CTIA. This candybar style phone opens to unveil another screen and a QWERTY keyboard similar to that of the LG VX-9800. https://gizmodo.com/lg-vx-9800-on-verizon-126876 Texting freaks should love this phone, but for anyone else it may be worth a pass. It is a…

Low End Theory: The Customer is Always Cheap

By Brendan I. Koerner Every morning as I approach my workspace on 14th Street, I’m assaulted by two very different sensory experiences. The first is the whiff of stale urine outside a certain construction site, where nightly Mad Dog throwdowns seem to occur. The second is the hollering of a tout who spends eight straight…

Kyocera Oystr Mobile Launched on Virgin Mobile

The pearl-white finish of the Kyocera Oystr looks similar to the Helio handset, but this Oystr unfortunately doesn’t have a jewel on the inside. The phone is a pretty low-end specimen, with only access to Virgin Mobile content such as wallpapers and screensavers, two way speakerphone, text messaging, TTY/TDD and a color screen to differentiate…

Low End Theory

Cheapo Handset Bill of Rights By Brendan I. Koerner Us veterans of the food-service industry know that a restaurant’s best-selling bottle of wine is almost invariably the second cheapest on the list.

Kyocera KR1 EVDO Portable Router

Great for getting a group of people online from a job site, or perhaps at E3, the Kyocera EVDO router has four 10/100 ports and one slot for an EVDO PC card. It supports up to 2.4 Mbps download, which pretty much as fast as you can go right now. Users can use the 802.11b/g…

Kyocera’s W41K Uber Phone

This new phone from Kyocera sets itself off from the others for three main reasons. The first of which is its anti-shake technologies for the integrated 3.2 megapixel camera. In my day-to-day usage, my camera phone is used most when there are certain alcoholic beverages involved: how am I supposed to blackmail someone when the…

Curvy Kyocera Strobe

This Kyocera Strobe phone has all the moves. With a candybar design, it opens lengthwise and has an external keypad and color screen as well as a second, larger display next to another keyboard on the inside.

Kyocera KX21 Switchback

Seems Kyocera has joined the “Sidekick killer” trend that’s popping up with cellphone manufacturers and carriers. The KX21 or “Switchback” is a QWERTY keyboard phone for Virgin Mobile. The phone has 1x RTT data, as well as a built-in camera and is aimed toward text messaging. Don’t expect anything too great though. No Bluetooth is…

CTIA: Amp’d and Kyocera’s Jet

We’ve mentioned Amp’d Mobile before, but since they gave me another look-see at their phones and services at CTIA, I figure it’s worth re-hashing. As some of you already know, Amp’d Mobile is made for the younger set of cellphone consumers. Some of the major things that’s setting them apart is a completely customized UI…

Kyocera Candid KX16

Kyocera announced its Candid KX16 clamshell today for the CDMA market, both U.S. and abroad. It’s being sold as a gaming handset, which means it’ll go together nicely with the freaky Alienware mobile phone GamePad we mentioned yesterday. Pretty standard phone features: VGA cam (thus the “Candid” moniker, we presume), digital zoom, raised keypad for…

Amp’d Mobile Pushes One Out

Amp’d Mobile [WARNING: Hella Flash], the only mobile carrier that uses Shakespearean contractions, is aimed at the children. Those crazy kids love their cell phones, you betcha, so Amp’d is going to give them a nice slider Kyocera slider phone called the Jet.
