Switch Back Messaging phone from Kyocera

The Kyocera Switch Back Messaging Phone tries to pack in text messaging, instant messaging, the Web experience, and a camera within a budget clamshell design. It weighs slightly over 4 ounces and has a functionality that is missing sorely in most phones nowadays. The external display showcases rudimentary information like incoming caller ID, but turn the phone sideways and flip the face to unveil the vibrant, internal widescreen and a QWERTY keyboard that is more than adequate to make texting, emailing, and gaming a breeze. The Switch Back will be available this month nationwide, and will retail for $149.99. More specs after the jump.
