More details on Kyocera's K323 for Verizon
Not everything can be cutting edge now-a-days and maybe the LG VX8600 just isn't your cup of tea. No worries, we've got you covered; here comes the the Kyocera K323. Feature-packed it's not, but the clamshell can still hang with the best of the (low tier) lineup with an all-digital dual band radio, VGA camera with flash, 65k inside color screen, speakerphone, Bluetooth (no OBEX profiles folks), and support for VZnavigator. Look for it sometime mid-January for a reasonable $220 at full retail, $150 on a one year, and $100 on a two year contract before the mail in rebate of $50. Check after the break for a posterior shot!
Verizon to add two more on the low end
Pantech PN-310 not doing anything for you? It looks like Verizon's got a couple more in the pipeline (including yet another from Pantech) that might be more to your liking. First up is the Pantech PN-300 (pictured above), an ultra basic, cameraless clamshell whose only real claim to fame might be that it's just a little easier to look at -- in our humblest of opinions -- than the PN-310. Next up is the Kyocera K323 (pictured after the break), a phone we've known about for a while that takes one small step up the food chain from the PN-300 by adding a VGA cam, Bluetooth, and an internal antenna. Our sources tell us the PN-300's launch is imminent, while we still might be in for a little wait on the K323. Believe us, we're not getting too worked up about it.[Thanks, anonymous tipster]
Kyocera K323 "coming soon" on Verizon
O2 isn't the only carrier getting simple love today. Besides spilling the beans on LG's VX8600 and VX9900, Verizon's Backup Assistant site also lists they Kyocera K323 as "coming soon." For those unfamiliar with the basic flip, it rocks 160 x 128 internal and 96 x 16 external displays, a VGA shooter, and an internal antenna in a 96-gram package. Perhaps not quite as interesting or exciting as either of LG's offerings, but hey, we're all about freedom of choice.[Thanks, Jonathon]
