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 Wireless, NTelos, Verizon, U.S. Cellular, 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, 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 will not hang up. Also during a task, like looking for a ringtone, if you flip it open or close you will not have to start all over.
