kThe Kyocera X-tc on Virgin Mobile spotted last month is now available to order for $99 off contract, and butting heads with the recently-launched Alltel Banter/Sprint Rumor 2 for discount texting supremacy. Spec-wise, the sliders are in the same ballpark, so plans will really be the dealbreaker on those considering both devices.

  • QVGA display with 262K colors
  • Stereo Bluetooth
  • Dedicated music keys
  • Mobile Web
  • Email, IM
  • Facebook Mobile
  • Voice dialing
  • 1.3MP camera
  • MicroSD card support
  • Talk time: up to 250 minutes
  • Standby time:  up to 200 hours
  • 4.37 x 2.05 x 0.68 inches
  • 3.89 ounces

Not a bad little package on the whole, and certainly better-looking than the candybar Kyocera S1300 JAX launched at the same time.
