Kyocera Wireless Corporation - Provides Canada's First Push-To-Talk Digital Cell Phones

Kyocera Wireless Corp., in conjunction with TELUS Mobility has now unveiled Canada's first digital PCS, Push To Talk (PTT) digital cell phone, the Kyocera KX440. With the push of a button, these digital cell phones transform themselves into walkie-talkie style devices, allowing for instant communication between individuals who have other cell phone devices.

TELUS Mobility is Canada's Push To Talk pioneer and has made extensive inroads by building a big market for these sorts of products. Now businesses in Canada have come to rely on push to talk technology and the KX440 cell phone has been specifically designed with the perfect combination of features, style and price in a push to talk cell phone.

The Perfect Combination – With Features For The Heavy User

Now that TELUS is offering, the MIKE network for business and this new Instant Talk system on their PCS network, TELUS Mobility is Canada's leading national push to talk service provider. It makes perfect sense for them then to partner with a known force in the cell phone world – Kyocera.

The KX440 cell phone is based on Kyocera's popular Phantom design and features single-button PTT functionality, a dedicated speakerphone and a volume-control button. The phone's colour display lets users know when other users are available to talk. The KX440 is ideal for heavy use, as each handset comes equipped with a high-capacity, rechargeable lithium ion battery that will ensure talk time of up to 200 minutes and standby time of four days.

In addition, the KX440 comes with rubberized side grips and keypad, and a variety of productivity tools including up to 25 ringer types, vibrating alert, voice-activated dialing, alarm clock, stopwatch and tip calculator. Downloadable ringtones, Web access and predictive text entry round out the KX440's long list of features.
