Touchscreen handsets offer quick and seamless navigation. What’s more they have become an ongoing fad, with almost every second person using one such handset. Cricket and Kyocera too add a full touchscreen handset to their lineup, dubbed Kyocera Rio.
This beauty adorns a 2.8 inch QVGA full touchscreen display while maintaining its weight at around 3 ounces. Further, the device integrates MyHomeScreen with 3 customizable homescreens. Furnishing a 1.3MP camera, the phone proffers one-touch access icons for dialer, contacts, messaging, and scrollable menu. An optical trackpad/navigation key has also been fitted in the handset.
“The Kyocera RIO is a great complement to our constantly growing device lineup. It provides users with a sleek and sexy full touch multimedia experience. Available right in time for holiday shopping, this mobile phone will make a perfect gift for our customers who are looking for a phone with the latest in device technology at a very affordable price,” stated Matt Stoiber, vice president and general manager of devices for Cricket Communications.
“RIO makes touch more affordable but doesn’t sacrifice looks and function,” asserted Eric Anderson, vice president of sales at Kyocera Communications. “We’re excited to be a big part of Cricket’s lineup of full-purpose devices with a phone that packs a lot of features in at a low price just in time for the holidays.”
The Kyocera Rio bundles up a music player, microSD card slot, 3.5mm headset jack along with stereo Bluetooth. Additionally, it offers links to Mobile Email, Cricket Navigator, and MyBackup. The device provides users with 330 minutes of talktime and supports up to 16GB of additional storage. The phone comes with a paperless installed user guide.
Cricket’s Kyocera Rio can be picked up for $129.99 along with the carrier’s all-inclusive unlimited plans. It can be purchased from all Cricket-branded retail stores, some chosen dealers and the official website.
