Kyocera Rise arrives on Virgin Mobile with ICS, 3.5-inch display and slide-out QWERTY

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/kyocerarise-gallery-angle-2-1346434578.jpg Just as we’d heard, today’s the day that budget-minded (and not-so-shy) Kyocera Rise hits the Virgin Mobile USA shelves. Available now for a mere $100 – without any contracts, of course – this 3.5-inch, Ice Cream Sandwich device boasts some pretty run-of-the-mill features, including an HVGA LCD (no word on the resolution), a single-core, 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, 2GB of built-in storage which can be expanded to 32GB via microSD and, as you can see above, a full-on, slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Naturally, Virgin Mobile’s betting on folks to bundle the cheap handset with one of its unlimited data plans – not to mention Kyocera’s handset is yet another addition to the prepaid carrier’s rising smartphone lineup. Those interested can give the Rise a better look down below, where a nice gallery filled with charming press shots awaits. Gallery: Kyocera Rise for Virgin Mobile press shots
