On the 19th of this month Virgin Mobile announced that it has begun selling the Kyocera Wild Card, a sideways opening clamshell that has a full QWERTY keyboard. Like the Cricket Lingo, the Wild Card is based on Kyocera's M1000. It is an update to the SwitchBack, and has a 1.3 megapixel camera, speakerphone, and Bluetooth. It is available in retail stores for $100 and will be available online beginning October 24.

From what I have seen of the phone its much like the LG VX9800, the early version of Verizon's Envy. The features are the same, and the over all look, design, and functions are all the same. the only thing that really varies is the color of the phone.
