Kyocera Slider SE44

This unique phone offered by Kyocera has a sliding front and features speaker phone, custom ring tones, voice dialing, vibrate alert, text messaging, full color screen, and a built in alarm, calendar, and calculator.

This phones’ battery life goes up to 3.5 hours of talk time, and 100 hours (4.2 days) of stand-by time and has a phone book capacity of 200. This phone also supports BREW to download games and ring tones.

On the phone's face is a five-line, 65,000-color display that's visible in most lighting conditions. Below the screen, a four-way navigation controller encircles an OK button. Flanking that pad are four keys: two are soft, one enables talking, and another ends calls or shuts off the phone.

There's no need to worry about accidental activation; you can't do anything (not even power down) until you slide back the cover. When you do that, you see the blue-backlit keypad.
