Well..I was at the Post office the other day, and I was listening to two Kyocera Wireless folks in front of me talk. They both worked in manufacturing and this apperantly was the first time they met in like a span of 2 years. (One retired apperantly) Anyways, as they were talking, i was listening. The worker was talking about how they were selling handsets in NA and now SA, also AU along the way. He then mentioned to the other guy about new phones that are coming out.

The guy mentions that they have a phone that is in the pipelines around the following specs.

1- Japanese phone form factor w/ color screen (they're getting it from Kyocera Japan)
2- Triband Guts (american made guts)
3- Brew Support.
4-External Display

Seeing what they have in the pipelines, I think this is a new phone.

The guy mentioned how they have to buy it from Kyocera Japan since the US Business is a completely seperate company.

Also, their head of the US Division just left (according to this worker), so maybe the division is either going to be sold or Kyocera Japan trusts them enough.

interesting about the Japanese form factor, I've been wondering for years how a Japanese company can make such ugly phones.
