Amongst the stash of super Android phones released this summer, the mid-range offering from Kyocera, the Sanyo ZIO, has been officially priced for Cricket. Since you're not required to sign a lengthy contract, you can expect to pay a reasonable $249.99 for this Android powered smartphone which is looking to become available for purchase some time this fall – granted though, no official release date has been announced just yet. It first pop its head during the most recent CTIA event and features a 3.5” touchscreen, 3.2-megapixel camera, 3.5mm headset jack, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. Even though it'll be running Android, there was no mention in Cricket's press release as to which version we'll see grace the handset when it's released. Let's just cross our fingers and have some wishful thinking that it'll have at least Android 2.1 on board from the onset.
