Kyocera has never really been a brand I’ve paid attention to, but with their new printhead technology I wrote about yesterday, and this slick CDMA flip phone they announced at CTIA, I guess I better start to. At just 0.66 inches when closed, the Neo E1100 has a minimalistic black design on the outside with a glowing blue ‘lightpipe’ running down the center. At one end the ‘lightpipe’ circles the lens for the 1.3 megapixel camera (yawn) and on the other end you’ll find a small hidden display running alongside it. While the display only shows basic info like battery life, signal strength and caller ID, it matches the overall clean design of the phone’s exterior.
Inside you’ll find a 262,000 pixel color display and a set of flush keys similar to what the Moto Razr uses. As for features, there’s nothing really cutting edge, but it does include the essentials like bluetooth 2.0, speakerphone, voice recognition, MP3 ringtones and a micro USB port for charging and syncing. On the downside, it uses the 2.5mm headphone jacks which I hate with a passion, but since it’s not trying to be an MP3 player phone, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. Pricing and availability for the Neo E1100 have yet to be announced.

京瓷 NEO E1100 翻盖手机
我丛未真正意识到京瓷是一个品牌,但是我猜想这是一个很好的开始,伴随着我昨天写到的关于他们新的打印头技术和在美国无线通信展上推出的平滑的CDMA翻盖手机。当E1100合上的时候仅仅只有0.66英尺，它的外观是一个精简的黑色设计,伴随着一条亮蓝色的“光柱”从中间由上往下。在“光柱”的一端圈出130万像素的摄象镜头（凹口），在另一端你会发现一个小的隐藏的显示屏沿着“光柱”。虽然显示屏仅仅显示基本的信息诸如电池电量，信号强度和打电话人的ID，但是它和手机外部的整个简洁设计相匹配。
翻开NEO E1100手机里面，你会发现一个262000像素的彩色显示屏和一系列类似于摩托罗拉Razr功能的平滑的按键。由于这些特点，它没有什么真正前沿的技术。但是他也包括一些必要的设备，诸如蓝牙2.0，喇叭扬声器，语音识别，MP3铃音和一个用来充电和同步数据的小的USB插槽。在底部，它采用了我最讨厌的2.5毫米耳机插孔。但是既然它没有试着去变成MP3手机，我认为这不是一个大的变化。NEO E1100的价格和可用性还没有被公布。
