Kyocera DuraPlus brings extreme ruggedness to Sprint’s Direct Connect
Sprint just announced a phone that, unlike most of what we cover here day in and day out, is not a smartphone. Nor is it meant to impress by features, processor speed, or any of those things. There’s one thing that the Kyocera DuraPlus is, though: rugged. It adheres to Military Standard 810G for resistance [...]
Sprint set to discontinue the HTC Evo 4G, Evo View 4G, and BlackBerry PlayBook this month
Sprint is set to discontinue a few of the devices it currently sells before this month ends. These things do happen from time to time, as smartphones and tablets reach End-of-Life (EOL), which is what carriers usually call the fact that they stop selling one gadget or the other. Now SprintFeed has received Sprint’s latest [...]
Sprint’s LG Marquee, BlackBerry Curve 9350, and Kyocera Duramax now available
Yesterday was a big day for Sprint, as many Sundays are (since the carrier loves to release new handsets on that particular day of the week). Not as big as tomorrow may end up being, but still, three new devices have hit the streets – and Sprint’s shelves. The newly available handsets are the LG [...]
Rugged Kyocera Duramax flip phone arrives on Sprint’s Direct Connect on October 2
Who said anything about flip phones dying a slow and painful death after the Motorola Razr went out of fashion? Well, apparently no one. Or at least that’s what Sprint seems to think. The carrier introduces the upcoming Kyocera Duramax with words such as “workhorse” and “productivity” – so apparently those of you who actually [...]
Sprint Kyocera Milano to be just $29.99 starting on October 2
Sprint’s Kyocera Milano has been available for less than two weeks at this point, yet the Now Network is busy prepping the smartphone’s first ever price drop. Not that the Milano was expensive to begin with though. It launched with a price tag of $49.99 (with a new two-year contract naturally). And starting on October [...]
Sprint intros Kyocera Milano with Android Gingerbread and Kyocera Brio
Sprint has announced two new handsets made by Kyocera: the Kyocera Milano and the Kyocera Brio. As reported last week, the Milano is an Android smartphone running 2.3 Gingerbread and featuring a sliding QWERTY keyboard, a 3 inch QVGA touchscreen display, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with hotspot capability, GPS, 3.5mm headset jack, Bluetooth, Eco Mode (a [...]
Android-powered Kyocera Milano to be available from Sprint on September 9 for $49.99
Kyocera is planning on releasing a new device to join the Echo in Sprint’s smartphone lineup. The Kyocera Milano, however, unlike the Echo, will forego the unique form factor for a more generic look and feel. The Kyocera Milano will be a midrange Android-powered offering, that will have its price as one of its main [...]
Sprint Kyocera Echo Android 2.3 Gingerbread update will be out on August 1
Sprint’s Kyocera Echo is an Android-powered smartphone that truly stands out. The dual-touchscreen device has its very own unique selling proposition, that’s for sure. However, it’s been pretty much a niche device ever since it launched. That may have been caused, in small part, by the operating system version it shipped with. In a world [...]
Dual-touchscreen Kyocera Echo Android smartphone already available for Sprint Premier customers
Sprint’s Kyocera Echo is a unique device, that much is certain. And it’s just two days away from hitting the streets, and then we’ll see if its uniqueness will be reason enough for people to shell out $199.99 and buy it. This is, after all, a niche device, one that’s unlikely to receive timely OS [...]
Sprint starts taking pre-orders for the dual-touchscreen Android-powered Kyocera Echo
Sprint’s Kyocera Echo is the world’s first dual-touchscreen Android smartphone. Whether or not that alone will make it a best-seller is unclear at the moment, but Sprint seems to really be proud of this device. As we found out before, the Echo will become available on April 17. However, if you just can’t wait until [...]
Kyocera Releases Developer Kit for Echo’s Dual-Touchscreen Tablet
In my earlier post about the dual-touchscreen nature of the Kyocera Echo, I mentioned that the opportunity was strong for developers interested in taking advantage of both screens. I think it could be very innovative to see what developers can come up with, and see how it can benefit our lives. Fortunately, yesterday Kyocera formally [...]
Sprint’s Kyocera Echo Hands-on at CTIA 2011
There are a lot of phones being shown off here at CTIA 2011, but there is only one that actually uses more than one touchscreen: the Kyocera Echo, available on Sprint’s network starting April 17 for $199.99 after contract and rebates. The two touchscreen concept has been around for a long time, but nobody has [...]
