"At Virgin Mobile USA we are committed to giving our customers value, service and choice they can't find anywhere else,” said Matias Monges, Virgin Mobile USA's director of mobile devices. “The TNT! is a perfect embodiment of that philosophy, and shows that we can deliver it all - from robust gear like the Wild Card from Kyocera to less expensive devices that still excel at getting the job done with style."

Kyocera TNT! Is a small flip phone measuring 3.5 x 1.8 x 0.6 inches at 3 ounces, sporting an external monochrome display that shows who’s calling by revealing the caller ID. Inside it has pre-installed games but you can also download animated and Real Music ringtones.

The cell phone model provides up to 200 minutes of talk time and no less than 5 days of standby, while in addition it features speakerphone, and simple web access.

"When it comes to style, features and performance, people are getting more than their money's worth with the TNT!" said Tom Maguire, divisional vice president of global marketing at Kyocera Wireless. "Virgin Mobile USA's commitment to providing its customers incredible value extends beyond just its service plans and into its handset lineup as well. The TNT! is the latest in a long line of Kyocera phones at Virgin Mobile that deliver on this promise."



It is a low-cost entry-level handset available with a cheap cell phone service, meant to assist you in communicating with the others and that’s all. There is no Bluetooth, no built-in digital camera nor music player.

Kyocera Adreno S2400 clamshell cell phone is designed to look kinda retro with its tactile finish and the curved edges in high-contrast colors.
The keyboard is large as the 1.8-inch main display for easy messaging.
Other features include MP3 player and external caller ID display.

All are affordable mobile phones that will be released in Q3 this year to support 800 MHz, 1900 MHz, 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz frequency bands.
Kyocera also announced that it has finalized the acquisition of Sanyo mobile phone division.



"This is a milestone day for Kyocera in the mobile phone business," declared Dave Carey, vice president and general manager of KWC's Consumer Products Group. "Our new CDMA handsets mark another step in the development of our core CDMA business, while our expansion into the GSM market significantly broadens our global market opportunities and the Sanyo acquisition gives us unprecedented new economies of scale and depth of resources. We're making a very clear statement today that Kyocera is committed to long-term growth and success in this industry."

Nuance, a leader in the speech and imaging solutions industry, announced the new mobile phone with its speech recognition capability under the name Tempo E2000, made by Kyocera Wireless.

The features which Tempo E2000 comes with include video on demand, a built-in 1.3MP camera with video recorder, microSD slot for up to 2GB memory, and up to 3.5 hours of talk time.

The speech recognition capability from Nuance allows for digit dialing and speaker-independent name so the user can easily dial just by pushing the special button and start to speak the name he/she wants to call from the phone book, or by saying the phone number.
Other commands supported are application launching, menu navigation and others.

"People are verbal communicators so Nuance's voice recognition technology helps us to create more elegant, humanistic devices. We don't believe technology and ease-of-use are mutually exclusive concepts," said Dave Carey, vice president and general manager of the Consumer Products Group at Kyocera Wireless.
