Kyocera K10 Royale Prepaid Phone (Virgin Mobile)


Kyocera K10 Royale Prepaid Phone (Virgin Mobile)

Hot on the heels of the popular Kyocera K9 Rave phone comes the new K10 Royale, now with a brilliant color screen and support for Virgin Mobile's enhanced wireless Internet services, known as VirginXL. The sporty K10 also features Superphonic ringtones, two-way text messaging support, voice dialing, and a flashlight. There's no better way to take advantage of your Virgin Mobile service.



Take a closer look at the K10 Royale's functions.
Design
The K10 features a 104 x 80, 4,000-color color screen that displays call information, games, wireless content, and more. A stub antenna extends from the top right side of the phone while a charging port is positioned on the bottom of the unit. A 2.5mm headset jack is also provided. Most phone features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. Detachable faceplates are available, so you can dress up the phone's case to suit your style.

Calling Features
The K10's built-in address book can store up to 200 entries for quick and easy management of your contacts. The phone comes with built-in Virgin Mobile Superphonic ringtones plus a vibrating alert. Superphonic ringtones feature real music tracks; even more are available via Virgin Mobile's VirginXtras service. Voice dialing of up to 10 contacts is supported, as are voice commands, so you can dial numbers and control certain functions of the phone without ever touching it.

Messaging and Internet
The K10 covers the messaging basics with support for sending and receiving text messages easily and quickly (Virgin Mobile text messaging charges apply). eZitext text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile e-mail and text messaging users.

The phone fully supports Virgin Mobile's enhanced wireless content service, VirginXL. Use the pay-per-use service to download Superphonic ringtones, animations, and voices of the hottest recording artists. Get content and vote in TV-based polls with the MTV area of your phone, or get jokes and updates from Comedy Central. Pick a celebrity voice to answer your voice mail, or get a SpongeBob thought of the day. Need to jog your memory? Use Virgin's song ID service. Press the Song ID command, point your K10 toward a song that's playing in the room, and within minutes a text message appears identifying the song's title. There's even a "Rescue Rings" service to help get you out of sticky dating or other personal situations. The list of cool content features goes on and on.

The K10 ships with a number of handy tools, including a calendar, a calculator with a tip calculator, and an alarm clock.

Imaging and Entertainment
The phone features custom Virgin Mobile graphics--screen savers, wallpaper, and menu icons--that let you dress up your phone to suit your personality. There's even a built-in flashlight for when you're fumbling with your keys in the dark. For gamers, the K10 comes preloaded with two games, and more are available via the VirginXL service.
