Low-end Kyocera S1300 candybar survives the FCC

And by "survive," we mean "survives the awful FCC photography clinic." All kidding aside, the photos this time didn't turn out too bad, but maybe that's because this phone is about as plain as plain can get. In fact, we'd suggest this here candybar is just marginally more sophisticated that those incredibly simplistic senior phones, though it does include a tri-band CDMA radio, GPS, speakerphone and a presumably putrid web browser. It's practically a lock for someone like MetroPCS, but we suppose only time will tell.

looks good though. I like me my candybar phones (blackberrys count right?) but for a simple phone, this is awesome because it echoes the startac-era stuff to reinforce the concept of simple functionality, while simultaneously providing solid features, like more than 99 phone numbers.

you guys need promo writers? :p
