Kyocera Zio – yet another Android phone

If you ask us, the biggest advantage of Android when compared to the other young Operating Systems is that it can be used by any manufacturer. It comes as no surprise, that even Kyocera joins this game. The manufacturer typically makes entry level handsets, but today it announced a decent smart phone – the Kyocera Zio M6000. It runs on Android 1.6, but is expected to be user upgradable to version 2.1 later.

The greatest feature of the Zio is the 3.5” screen sporting WVGA 800x480 pixels resolutions. The surprises end here and the other features are just what one can expect : It has modest 3.2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and 600 MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 processor.

Kyocera Zio M6000 is a CDMA/EV-DO phone with version supporting the AWS band. It is said to launch in the second quarter of the year, and we expect to see it in the lines of carriers like MetroPCS, Cricket and Virgin Mobile. It shouldn’t break the bank and contract-free price is said to be below $220.
