Kyocera KX160 XcursionKyocera has launched the new Xcursion KX160 clamshell CDMA phone. It comes with a VGA camera with flash, 5X digital zoom and external camera buttons. The handset also comes with two displays: an internal display at 128x160 pixels and an external one at 96x64 pixels.

The camera, although supporting just VGA res pics, has some neat features that include multi-shot, timer, color effects and fun frames for easy picture editing.

The platform under the hood is BREW 2.1, and it supports Bluetooth wireless technology (although it is not clear which Bluetooth profiles are supported). The phone also comes with built-in software like tip calculator, countdown timer, stopwatch, world clock and voice memos, so this is good news for consumers looking for a phone with a couple of useful PDA functionalities thrown in.

The Kyocera Xcursion KX160 is slated to be available with CDMA carriers in November 2005. kyocera.com
