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.
