Hot on the heels of AT&T’s half-dozen new texting phones, Sprint and Kyocera Sanyo today announced a $29.99 (with contract and mail-in rebate) keyboarded phone called the SCP-2700. (Kyocera bought Sanyo’s mobile phone division last year, so now they’re Kyocera Sanyo.)
The SCP-2700 looks like it’s designed for texters on a budget (read: teens) but Sprint’s unusually good Seven e-mail program even supports Microsoft Exchange e-mail (read: adults). The SCP-2700 has a sharp 2.2″, 320×240 screen for good text display. The phone is 4.3″ x 2.4″ x .6″ and 3.4 ounces – light, but not paper-thin.
This is a decent, midrange phone otherwise, with a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, a speakerphone, voice dialing, GPS and a dedicated key for inserting emoticons into your messages. There’s no real Web browser, though, and this isn’t a smart phone.
The SCP-2700 will be available on May 10, Sprint says.
