Kyocera and Sanyo introduced three new phones at CTIA. We take a closer look in our slideshow.
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).
The Kyocera G2GO (that's pronounced "good to go") M2000 is a slider phone with a QWERTY keyboard. On the whole the design is promising, though the keyboard is a little cramped. The M2000 will be coming to Virgin Mobile as the X-tc.

Kyocera G2GO M2000
The M2000 has an accelerometer that will change the display's orientation as you rotate the phone. Using the numeric keys to dial in this position felt a bit awkward.
