Cor blimey. I opened this thread thinking it was going to be a blast from the past.

Perhaps somebody discovered an old warehouse filled with old hardware so they are trying to flog them off to the kiddies in a new shiny box.

Nah 2004 is about the right era. Earlier it was the flip up Nokia communicator style.

Obviously Kyocera has a sales manager that knows his stuff....and with a hot name like "Verve", the kiddies are bound to eat it up! Psssh, those Androids and iPhones don't even have keyboards!!
