Kyocera Event launched by Virgin Mobile, yours for $79.99 sans contract

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.
