All right, it's finally here! Kyocera's much-awaited Kyocera KX160 camera phone debuted today through Cricket.

Kyocera KX160 is a spiffy CDMA phone sporting a VGA camera with flash and digital zoom, a dedicated camera button for quick shots, self-timer option, and even auto-focus. With Cricket offering unlimited picture messaging in its rate plans, expect to click a lot more photos.

Touting affordability as the key factor, the KX160, which we briefly saw on The Whack some time back, is equipped with large, vivid color displays both on the inside (128 x 160 pixels) and outside (96 x 64 pixels). The picture caller ID aids in quicker recognition of who's calling.

Thanks to Bluetooth technology, you can go hands-free as well as wire-free at the same time. This BREW 2.1 phone, compatible with CDMA2000 1X, allows users to access Cricket Clicks for downloading wallpapers, games and ringtones over-the-air. The WAP 2.0 browser is useful for accessing websites on the phone.

A slightly bulky phone measuring in at 1.89" x 3.54" x .98", it weighs 4.1oz and claims 3.5 hours of talktime, with up to 170 hours in standby mode.

Priced at US $199.99, more info on Kyocera Xcursion KX160 is available from Kyocera's website. For rate plans, access Cricket. Check in extended entry for features and specifications.
