Kyocera X-tc and JAX introduced by Virgin Mobile

Two new handsets have been recently introduced by Virgin Mobile USA, both manufactured by Kyocera.

Only the first device, Kyocera X-tc, seems to be available for purchase right away, offered by Virgin for $99 – no contract required. 

The X-tc is an entry-level phone with a sliding QWERTY keyboard, so it’s in the same league as Sprint’s LG Rumor2 (or LG Banter, if you’re on the Alltel side). 

Overall, the handset doesn’t look bad at all:

Its specs and features include:

• QVGA display with 262K colors
• Stereo Bluetooth
• Dedicated music keys
• Mobile Web
• Email, IM
• Facebook Mobile
• Voice dialing
• 1.3MP camera
• MicroSD card support
• Talk time: up to 250 minutes
• Standby time:  up to 200 hours
• 4.37 x 2.05 x 0.68 inches
• 3.89 ounces

The second new phone, Kyocera JAX, seems to be Virgin’s version of Kyocera S1300, which was launched by Cricket last month. 

The JAX is a 13-mm thick candybar that features a 128 x 160 pixels display, Web browser, text messaging and “real music ringtones”. Its price and release date are not known for the moment.
