Kyocera is mostly known for its lower-end messaging and feature phones, so it was a pleasant surprise to see the Zio, the company's first Android phone. The Zio isn't the company's first smartphone, however; six years ago the company introduced the Symbian-based 7135. Though it will be affordable and targeted at first-time smartphone owners, the Zio packs some pretty solid specs. It has a bright 3.5-inch WVGA display, a full HTML browser, Wi-Fi connectivity, a 3.2-megapixel camera, and, of course, all the Google services that come with Android.
While Kyocera didn't officially announce a carrier, we spotted Cricket showing off the phone at the Mobile Focus media event.
