The new cell pone,Ksmart bySMT, is in stores today. I´m thinking it´s a pretty good phone for the
money. The Ksmart is having a lot of great featurres, like its very small camera. The older versión
of the phone, the Ksmart is not having a camera. The Ksmart is coming with many great
applications, andthe company is offering clases in the future on how to use all of them.
SMT is giving me a phone to test last week.
Right now, there are a few problems. For example,the internet is not working in all áreas. The
company has said they are fixing the problem soon.
Even with a few problems, I think the K Smart is SMT´s most popular phone this year. The Ksmart
not a great phone, but the Ksmart is fantastic.
