The Kyocera Strobe is a cellular phone from Kyocera Wireless. It was released on June 30, 2006. Service providers such as Alltel, Bluegrass Cellular, Cricket, NTelos, Verizon, and Virgin Mobile carry this phone. The Strobe looks like a regular candy bar phone, but it flips into a hidden QWERTY keyboard. It has dual-color displays, keypad, hidden QWERTY keyboard, built-in polyphonic ring tones, screen savers, caller alerts, a loop antenna, speaker phone, headset jack, and a VGA camera with flash and 5x zoom. What makes the Strobe different from other phones like it is that if you flip it open during a call, it won't hang up. Also during a task, like looking for a ringtone, if you flip it open or close you won't have to start all over.
[edit] Features
The QWERTY keyboard is great for texting, games, IM, etc. The camera takes very decent photos but it also can take photos in black and white, negative, and sepia. The camera also has things such as zoom, self-timer, multishot, shutter sounds, and low light mode. You can also choose the quality of the photo, the resolution of the photo, and frames for the photo. The loop antenna is great for backpacks, purses, and even key chains. Kyocera Wireless sells straps and clips for the Strobe.
[edit] Models
There are two models of the Strobe. The K612 and the K612B. The K612 has a hidden QWERTY keyboard, dual-color displays, integrated loop antenna, speaker phone, and a VGA camera with flash. The K612B is the same as the K612 except it has Bluetooth wireless technology.
