Kyocera Rise Review

Kyocera Rise Review

This video showcase the oldie but goodie Kyocera Rise.  This phone is extremely popular for those of us who have to have a keyboard but still desire the indestructible quality of a rugged phone.  I still recommend a case and screen protector for this model but it's build quality far exceeds the average phone on the market in it's price range.  Here are a list of the phones specifications below:
