Despite offering solid call quality during our San Francisco tests, the Kyocera Domino had enough design and hardware disappointments to keep us looking for a better simple cell phone.

It doesn't help that for the Domino, Kyocera has regurgitated an almost exact copy of the design used on the earlier Jax, repeating most of the same mistakes. Sorry, Kyocera, but revisiting that screen is a crime we can't easily overlook.
