Boost Refreshes Entry Level With Kyocera Coast

Apr 8, 2013, 11:01 AM by Rich Brome

Boost Mobile today launched the Kyocera Coast, a basic clamshell-style phone with a 2-megapixel camera and external display. The phone sports Bluetooth and voice dialing, but without LTE, video capture, or even a memory card slot, "affordable" is its most important feature. It is available today for $30, no contract required. In Kyocera's lineup, the Coast is most similar to the older Luno offered by Virgin as the S2100. Compared to the Luno, the Coast has a better camera and larger displays.

"Without LTE"

Why would a phone-first device have LTE? It doesnt make sence. If I had a phone like this, I would WANT a 2G phone, as everybody with these phones knows that GSM uses less battery than WCDMA. I think LTE would be a huge disadvantage for a phone-first device, it would zap the battery life.
