Company's Easiest Texting Camera Phone Features New Streaming Music Capability with Unique Catalog Content, Bluetooth(R) Wireless Technology and More Polished Look
This fall, music lovers looking for the convenience of Bluetooth(R) wireless technology in a sophisticated handset with the ease of texting on a full QWERTY keyboard should look to be dealt Virgin Mobile USA's new Wild Card by Kyocera Wireless. The first Virgin Mobile handset with streaming music capability, Wild Card gives customers the ability to listen to their favorite music right through the phone, and "ups the ante" on the full texting keyboard capabilities of last year's Switch_Back phone.
Weighing in at just over 4 ounces, the sleek and stylish Wild Card "aces" great functionality within a compact and trendsetting clamshell casing. Among its most notable features are two vibrant color displays. The first on the front face of the phone is for voice calls. But by turning the phone sideways and giving its face a quick flip, customers have access to the Wild Card's wide screen -- along with a sizeable QWERTY keypad designed to make emailing, texting, IMing, gaming, browsing online, or streaming full music tracks simple and enjoyable.
"Wild Card is an elegant and refined version of last year's Switch_Back. With multiple upgrades, streaming music through our Headliner application and the new, affordable $19.99 monthly unlimited messaging pack offer, this is another Virgin Mobile phone that appeals to so many of our customers' interests -- especially those who love to text and listen to music," said Howard Handler, chief marketing officer for Virgin Mobile USA. "At $99.99, our customers are getting a superior handset at an affordable price."
"Some people shop with their heads and some shop with their hearts - Wild Card is a phone that will appeal to both," said Tom Maguire, vice president of global marketing at Kyocera Wireless Corp. "Many will like its sophisticated styling and affordability, and you'd be hard pressed to find a better value for a music phone with a full QWERTY keypad. But once you flip open this phone, prepare to be blown away by the full house of features and entertainment hidden inside."
