Warren, NJ and San Diego -- Virgin Mobile USA is flashing its pearly whites this summer as it debuts its brand new metallic ivory handset called Oystr, by Kyocera Wireless. The newest clamshell available from the nation's top wireless provider to the youth market will hit retailers this week.

Oystr -- appropriately named for its lustrous white color and clamshell form factor -- offers customers such essentials as an internal color display, two-way speaker phone, text messaging, and customized Virgin Mobile hardware. Simple in design yet well-equipped, Oystr also includes Web browsing and access to Virgin Mobile content, such as pre-loaded wallpapers, screensavers, and Superphonic (a.k.a., real-music) Ringtones. Weighing just over 3 ounces, Oystr offers users up to 220 minutes of battery talk time and up to 200 hours of battery standby.

Oystr by Kyocera Wireless will be available beginning July 26, 2006 at over 25,000 retail locations nationwide, including Amazon.com, Best Buy, RadioShack, Rite Aid, Sprint Stores, Target, and select Follett Campus bookstores. The handset will retail for $29.99 and Virgin Mobile USA will also offer a full suite of Genuine Accessories by Kyocera(TM) to support the phone.
