The Kyocera Rise is an Android 4.0, QWERTY phone
1:13
Initially launched on Sprint, the Kyocera Rise is now available on prepaid network Virgin Mobile starting today.
The Rise is an entry-level keyboard handset running on Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich.
It’s equipped with a 3.5-inch HVGA touch screen, a 3.2-megapixel rear-facing camera, and a 1GHz Qualcomm processor.
When I reviewed the handset, I was impressed with its attractively designed keyboard, call quality, and updated Android OS. However, a slow processor and hefty design hold it back from really shining.
The Rise is going for $99.99 online and will be offered in retail stores beginning in September.
