Kyocera Mako S4000 photos
With good call quality and intuitive features, the Kyocera Mako S4000 is one of MetroPCS's better phones. Just make sure you can use the controls.
Kent German
Kent was a senior managing editor at CNET News. A veteran of CNET since 2003, he reviewed the first iPhone and worked in both the London and San Francisco offices. When not working, he's planning his next vacation, walking his dog or watching planes land at the airport (yes, really).
Function over form
With a simple flip phone design, the Kyocera Mako is all about communication.
Front and center
The Mako's external display is a tad small. The tiny speaker below the display has a mesh retro design.
A sturdy cell phone
The Mako's metal skin gives it a solid feel.
The Mako casts a trim shadow. On the left spine you'll find the volume rocker and headset jack.
Take care with controls
We didn't love the Mako flat and slippery keypad and navigation array.
Show it off
The Mako's not exactly a looker, but it's not unattractive either.
On the go
The compact and slim Mako travels well.
Picture time
The Mako's VGA camera lacks a flash and self-portrait mirror.
