Virgin Mobile USA is showing off a new full-QWERTY slider, the Kyocera X-tc. It doesn’t have much to brag about (paltry 1.3 megapixel camera, 240 x 320 screen) but it does e-mail, stereo Bluetooth, instant messaging, and all the usual wireless amenities. An expandable microSD memory card slot and frontal music control keys make it a passable MP3 player, to boot. Supposedly going for $100 at launch, so keep your eye on Virgin Mobile’s online store for when it’s ready.
