Kyocera announced the launch of the
Kyocera Laylo and Domino handsets at MetroPCS. Laylo is
an eye-catching red "slider" with a soft-touch finish and a reflective
twist - sliding it open reveals a hidden vanity mirror.
Domino is a
bar-style phone that also comes in red and sports features beyond the
norm at its entry-level price point. Both are available in all MetroPCS
markets and online at MetroPCS.
Perfect for any on-the-go user, Laylo boasts a 2.2-inch contoured
high-resolution display, a 1.3 megapixel camera and a discrete vanity
mirror revealed when the phone is opened. Inside, the phone sports a
large keypad with excellent tactile and visual separation of the keys
for faster, easier typing. Laylo features Bluetooth 2.0 wireless
technology, a WAP 2.0 browser, BREW 3.1.5 and both multimedia and
instant messaging.
The Laylo sells for $99 before a $20 American Express-branded prepaid card mail-in rebate.
Also included are wallpaper and ringtone shuffle,
room for 500 contacts with five numbers each, powerful speakerphone with
dedicated function key, and productivity tools including alarm,
calculator, scheduler, stopwatch, tip calculator and more. In keeping
with Kyocera's long history of environmental responsibility, Laylo
includes a paperless user guide pre-loaded into the phone.
Domino is a streamlined bar-style phone that's a breeze to use with its
large display, roomy keypad and large, legible fonts. It has robust
sound quality and includes Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology, a WAP 2.0
browser, BREW 3.1.5 and virtually all of the other convenience and
productivity features found in the Laylo.
The Laylo and Domino support a full suite of features and applications
offered by MetroPCS including: Pocket Express for delivery of
user-customized content including news, sports, weather and more;
mail@metro for accessing e-mail on your phone; Metro411 for unlimited
directory assistance; MetroBACKUPs for automatic backup of
contact directories, Mobile IM for instant messaging and myMetro to
