Yesterday Cricket launched Kyocera Lingo. The Lingo operates like a traditional bar-shaped phone with a number pad but opens lengthwise to reveal a second display and a QWERTY keyboard. Combined with Cricket’s standard unlimited messaging, the design lets users quickly send out SMS texts without carrying a much larger device, according to the provider.

The Lingo is expected to reach shops today in a copper color and will sell for $180 after a rebate.
