Kyocera Koi KX2
Koi Release
I work for VZW in Michigan and I recently was visited by 3 Kyo Reps that each had a Koi. After playing with the phone and making a few calls, it seemed to work fine. It doesn't seem flemsy like I was expecting. One of the reps informed me that it is in testing and will be released in the Fall of this year.

Is this a tentative date or do you have solid info it will be out on the 24th.
thanks for your help
thanks for your help

It will be available to stores on the 24th for sure. Although it may take a few days for some stores to actually receive it. 😁

for vzw they are giving us similar projections...i'm actually getting excited myself...i saw it by a kyocera rep in mid summer and really liked it...but vzw always pushes back release dates...esp right before it gets released...its frustrating
