The Kyocera Slider SE47 (MetroPCS) Cell Phone

A phone for the young, the Kyocera Slider SE47 cell phone from MetroPCS certainly hits its mark. Both in look and price, this particular phone is very attractive.

At first glance the phone looks odd because it's a flip phone with a large external display. But when you take a better look you actually need to slide back the cover to use the phone. The slider feels great as well and I never felt like the phone was going to break. And although not as slim as some of the other cell phones, the Kyocera Slider SE47 does have a nice solid feel to it. It's also nice to have a phone that actually fills your palm so you don't have to worry dropping it all the time.

Incredibly easy to use, you can actually choose between a text and graphical user interface for your menu. Whichever you choose, they are both user friendly and you'll be able quickly pick up how to use the Kyocera Slider SE47. You can also enjoy personalizing your cell phone. Change your wallpapers, screensavers, color themes and even ringtones to suit your taste. In fact using the high speed data network from MetroPSC you can even surf the web to download even more wallpapers and ringtones.

For a cell phone of this level the features are pretty predictable. The Kyocera Slider SE47 cell phone includes a 200-name phone book, text and EMS messaging, a speakerphone, voice activated dialing as well as voice-memo recording. This mobile is also stocked up with a nice list of fun games to entertain you for long trips or waiting lines.

In terms of performance and sound quality, the Kyocera Slider SE47 has impressed. Calls were smooth in terms of sound and reception quality and friends on the other end had no problems either. Loud and clear, the speakerphone was also a joy to use. Perhaps the only flaw would be the fact that the phone heats up quickly after 10 minutes of continuous talking.
