    CNET Review

    August 14, 2006

    The Good: The Kyocera Oystr is a basic phone that comes with text messaging, a speakerphone, and a wireless Web browser. It's a well-designed phone with easy-to-press buttons.

    The Bad: The Kyocera Oystr has a small lackluster display and no external screen.

    The Bottom Line: The basic Kyocera Oystr doesn't have a lot of features or an external display, but it does what a phone should do.
