While E5000’s technical capabilities impress, the “S” factor and sheer beauty of this handset set it apart. Extensively tested for durability and strength, the innovative “S” hinge strikes the perfect balance between style and usability. Leaving no detail unchecked, the hinge also influences other design elements of the phone including the number pad and rounded edges of the handset.

“When I tell people what I do, I constantly get asked what the next revolutionary design element is going to be for mobile phones,” said Tyneski. “With E5000, I truly believe that we have conceived an iconic, revolutionary look that will be immediately recognizable and instantly equated with high fashion and style.”

A dual-band digital handset with a 2-inch QCIF+ internal TFT display, Kyocera E5000 will be available from global CDMA carriers in Fall 2007.
