Touting the slide out QWERTY device as the ultimate messaging tool, Virgin Mobile USA today announced next month's launch of the Kyocera X-tc. Retailing at $99 when it debuts on April 16th, the package is a pretty good deal for anyone who wants a solid phone with messaging capability, including unlimited SMS and IM for an additional $10 per month.

The device comes equipped with an adequate 1.3 mp camera, a large 2.4" QVGA (hi-res) screen, stereo Bluetooth and can accomodate a microSD card of up to 8GB...which is huge.

Monthly plans on Virgin start at $24.99 and may be just want the economy ordered.

Wow, I tried a life-size sample (fake non-working ones) at Target, and the keyboard was #%!@ing small! It was pretty cramped, even for my tiny fingers! Sorry Kyocera, but that keyboard ain't gonna take you nowhere. Not with me at least. Still, this would probably be next phone, since it's the only decent one at Virgin Mobile.

Looks nice and sounds intriguing, but keep in mind Kyocera devices have a history of failure. The Wild Card was a joke, this 1.3 MP camera sounds unenticing, and a lot of Kyocera devices in the past have been plasticky and bulky.
