| Kyocera Communications Inc., provider of Kyocera- and SANYO-branded wireless devices, today announced the launch of the Kyocera Laylo and Domino handsets at MetroPCS Communications Inc., the nation's leading provider of unlimited, flat-rate, no-signed-contract wireless communications service. Just in time for the holidays, Laylo is an eye-catching red “slider” with a soft-touch finish and a reflective twist – sliding it open reveals a hidden vanity mirror. Domino is a bar-style phone that also comes in red and sports features beyond the norm at its entry-level price point.
“With its rich red finish and elegant styling, Laylo is one of those few cell phones that stand out in a crowd”
"With its rich red finish and elegant styling, Laylo is one of those few cell phones that stand out in a crowd,” said Eric Anderson, vice president of sales at KCI. “And with Domino you get an eye-catching, affordable phone that’s perfect for any season. We’re excited to bring both phones and their just-right combinations of features, design and price to MetroPCS’s holiday handset lineup.”
Perfect for any on-the-go user, Laylo boasts a 2.2-inch contoured high-resolution display, a 1.3 megapixel camera and a discrete vanity mirror revealed when the phone is opened. Inside, the phone sports a large keypad with excellent tactile and visual separation of the keys for faster, easier typing. Laylo features Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology, a WAP 2.0 browser, BREW 3.1.5 and both multimedia and instant messaging.* Also included are wallpaper and ringtone shuffle, room for 500 contacts with five numbers each, powerful speakerphone with dedicated function key, and productivity tools including alarm, calculator, scheduler, stopwatch, tip calculator and more. In keeping with Kyocera's long history of environmental responsibility, Laylo includes a paperless user guide pre-loaded into the phone.

It has robust sound quality and includes Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology, a WAP 2.0 browser, BREW 3.1.5 and virtually all of the other convenience and productivity features found in the Laylo.
