Virgin Mobile USA has a new phone for fans of music and text messaging called the Wild Card by Kyocera. The Wild Card is an updated version of the Switch_Back from last year and weighs in at slightly more than 4 ounces. The phone has a full QWERTY keyboard that hides away when not in use.

A pair of color displays on the phone include an external 65k color 128 x 128 pixel LCD and an internal 65k color 128 x 160 pixel widescreen. A 1.3MP camera is built-in with a 3x digital zoom and the ability to shoot black and white photos. Web browsing is possible with an included WAP 2.0 web browser and the phone uses “Real-music” ring tones. The Wild Card will be available on the Virgin Mobile USA website starting October 24 and is available now in stores like Best Buy and Wal-Mart for $99.

EDIT- Obviously not a slider, but the press release I saw said the phone can shoot black and white images, it did not say only B&W nor does the original post.
