Kyocera and Boingo teaming up on WiFi cellphones

Kyocera has been sort of surprisingly in effect at CTIA this year, what with the unveiling of their unexpected partnership with Alienware and all (not to mention the fact that they were showing off their cutester Japan-only A1403K cellphone), but the potentially more interesting news is that they're going to work with Boingo Wireless to develop a line of 3G cellphones with built-in WiFi (that would seamlessly connect up to Boingo's WiFi network, of course). No specifics on when we might expect to see any of these next-gen phones—it could be a loooooong time—and it's not really clear Kyocera really needed to team up with Boingo for this one. We're betting they could probably figure out how to get WiFi into their phones on their own.
