i read that the strobe might be coming out. i wont be getting one but it might be cool just to play with one. some freinds on altell have them. they actually look like decent kyocera phones. (if thats possible)

Yes It will be soon very shortly. You should see it begin to show up in stores by late next week or the next.

we could order the phone today, so the phone should arrive tomorrow where it will be available at our location. 😁

I'm not selling any more KX5's, every single one I've sold this year (😎 have been 30 dayed for razrs. I've ordered a Strobe, but they scare me.

got the strobe in..its nice..not really all impressed..off course like the kx5 you can not tranfer music through bluetooth like you can with the razrs..it only supports picture transfer and i think it might support transfers of the .mid ring file types.US Cellular def needed a phone like this in our line up tho

we haven't had any problems here except with the old candids and milans. i admit i don't like kyocera. makes me feel like i'm holding a toy phone, but the Strobe seems to be decent so far. hopefully it holds up with no issues. kyocera seems to be improving.

KX5 isn't much of an improvement, just the same old plastic stuff with all the features they can cram into it. Strobe doesn't feel all that much better, so I'm not getting my hopes up. We'll see. I'll sell them until I start getting them returned.

yes that is correct, we recieve EVERY phone after the other carriers have had it..so for US Cellular this kyocera phone is much more than others in the past(for US Cellular..not other carriers)

I understand why all the agents are not carrying the kyocera products. they are horrible. it seemed in the past that everytime we turned around in our store we would have a customer with problems. The problem is that the repair on the kyocera phones is horrible. But the phones are improving..take a look at the 262/265..everyone was scared of moto. lets hope kyocera has taken an improvement step like moto.

That is not correct, we got the Krazr before even Verizon. However, like Motorola, Kyocera will have to go a long way (even further than Motorola did) to improve their product to the point where they are just okay.

lol, Yes I do think the same about the Kyocera coming some ways to be just okay.

And okay my mistake, we released 3 phones before the others..red razr, krzr, slvr..which brings up another convo..

krickt when you activate a moto..go look at the bottom of the list of phones that you have to choose from and look whats loaded into the system..I was suprised to ACTUALLY see them there.

I have, also look when you do a LG. That doesn't mean anything, just that it's in our system for testing, we may never see them, but the red is interesting.

I'm still waiting for the GoZone. I could sell that phone by the thousands.
