What Else Does This Beauty Offer?
Sonic users can take their gaming to the next level with an ergonomic gamepad
designed by Kyocera and Alienware. The gamepad’s easy-to-use keys, comfy grip
and portable size mean users can carry it anywhere. Plus, it won’t drain
the battery life because it’s self-powered by three AAA batteries.
A music dock for the Sonic is also available for the music-lovers out
there. The dock allows users to connect their Sonic to a stereo or PC and
transfer music and video files over USB - all while recharging the
battery. The phone can be connected to external speakers or
headphones allowing customers to listen to music in full stereo.
Slider Sonic users also get to experience our high-octane content -
a.k.a. VirginXL. Customers can download cutting-edge, full-color games,
wallpapers and screensavers. They can also:
•
Access exclusive *MTV contact such as Pimp My Ride, Rock Paper
