Last month Cricket and Sanyo announced that they will launch the Sanyo Zio by Kyocera, and today the Android Smartphone is ready for pre-order. The handset is expected to ship on August 21st, the ZIO is available to be purchased for a $249.99 price tag if you order it online then you could get a $20 discount bringing the price down to $229.99. Just for a quick reminder the ZIO packs a 3.5-inch touchscreen, 600 MHz processor, 3.2 megapixel camera, and Android 1.6. Kyocera is planning to upgrade the Android OS to 2.1 or even 2.2 in the future but there is no official confirmation yet. [phonedog]
