Kyocera Wireless, which is a wholly owned unit of Kyocera Corporation, was formed in Feb. 2000 when Kyocera acquired QUALCOMM’s handset unit. About.com cell phones guide Adam Fendelman reviews various Kyocera cell phones below.

The Virgin Mobile X-tc by Kyocera Wireless gets the job done as a full-keyboard and fast text messaging cell phone at a light weight and with a relatively large amount of media storage.
2. Kyocera Neo E1100: ‘Breathing Lightpipe’ (U.S. Cellular)

The Kyocera Neo E1100 differentiates itself with its external “breathing lightpipe” design, GPS for turn-by-turn directions and an extremely low cost.
3. Virgin Mobile TNT!

While this Kyocera handset loses points for a lack of style and features, such deductions are offset by the reality that this clamshell is for the most part priced as low as a cell phone can go.
