 Kyocera Rise Android smartphone : Sprint and Kyocera announced the launch of Kyocera Rise, an Android phone with a full Qwerty slide-out keypad and high-resolution touch screen display. Kyocera Rise offers Android phone loyalists the ability to easily move up to a smartphone without losing their tactile keyboard or spending a lot of money. A survey by industry analyst firm Yankee Group earlier this year revealed that 69 percent of consumers called a Qwerty keypad a “must have” or “nice to have” feature on their smartphones. The Kyocera Rise Android phone combines that feature with a 3.5-inch IPS LCD touchscreen display for easy navigation, internet browsing and stunning displays of pictures and video.
