Once again, the forums are abuzz with the most cutting-edge of phone news, this time about the
Kyocera VMM200. What does the "VM" stand for? Why, Virgin Mobile of course! Who, by the way, prefers to call this Qwertyphone the "X-tc".
The spec list is relatively impressive for a prepaid phone:
- 1.3 megapixel camera
- Bluetooth (not sure about stereo Bluetooth but it's likely)
- Media player
- MicroUSB port (data transfer only, no charging)
- Slide-out QWERTY keyboard
I'm asuming this phone, like the Audiovox...um...UTStarCom...um...PCD Shuttle, will have EvDO but I'm not sure on that one. It does however have the distinction of being unusable for typing in phone numbers unless it is slid out in horizontal mode. Fine on a touch-screen device, somewhat baffling on something that doesn't fit the profile.
Still, the phone looks to be a quite nice model, and a worthy successor to the Wild Card and the Switch_Back, for about the same price: $99.99. Or at least that's what Virgin Mobile had up on their website before they took pricing info down.
