VK Mobile Kickflip to be a Helio Launch Handset

Snapshot by Brad Kellett on Friday February 17, 2006.

The second of two new handsets announced for the launch of US MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) Helio, the VK Mobile Kickflip is a spinner style device with a very Apple-like look to it due to its pearlescent white cover and minimalist style.

The Kickflip shares the same features as its brother for Helio's launch, the Hero, including a 2.0 megapixel camera, 262k color QVGA screen, 70MB of on board memory, and microSD expansion slot. The VK Mobile Kickflip swings open in either direction with a semi-automatic mechanism that requires only a slight nudge, or 'kick,' with your finger to open the handset.

Expect the Kickflip on the opening lineup for the launch of Helio during Spring this year.
