Virgin Mobile is releasing yet another Kyocera phone. The Kyocera Adreno S2400 is being released by Virgin Mobile as the TNT. So, is the new TNT just another cheap flip phone or is it something to check out?
It’s not going to impress your friends unless your 12, and it lacks most of the features you would hope for. After you get past the fact that it’s a $20 phone and it’s lack of impressive features, the TNT does have one redeeming quality: it is very rugged and very blue. Blue is the only color it’s currently offered in, but only time will tell if they switch the colors up. Phone’s like the slice were also intially offered only in 1 hue. The blue does seems to accentuate the cheap look and feel.
Honestly, the phone isn’t all that bad looking for the price when compared to the Shadow Mouse or the Oystr, and it does have that tiny external display that other phones in it’s range are lacking.
Features:
- Affordably priced making it an ideal backup
- Lightweight at 3 oz’s (0.2 lbs)
- External display with caller id
- Supports Real Music ringtones and downloadable games
- Virgin XL support
- 200 minutes of talk time, 5 days of standby time
- Voice Dialing
- Speakerphone
The Bad
- External display is miniscule
- Voice quality is lacking
Virgin Mobile will be offering the phone on their website beginning August 20th, 2008. The TNT is currently available at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target, and other retailers.
