Reviews of the Kyocera Switch Back (Strobe)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Kyocera Switch Back has a full QWERTY keyboard, multiple messaging options, a VGA camera, a speakerphone, voice dialing, and decent call quality.
The Bad: The Kyocera Switch Back is bulky and has a cumbersome design. It suffers from poorly designed buttons and controls, as well as a tiny external display.
The Bottom Line: We had some serious design complaints with the Kyocera Switch Back, but the QWERTY keyboard, youth-friendly features, and decent call quality should appeal to the text-crazed teenager.
