Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Cell Phones, Handhelds, Wireless / WiFi

Cricket TXTM8I believe that there is an entire generation that uses their mobile phone for text messages only, and it would appear that Cricket is prepared for it with the TXTM8. 

The TXTM8, or text-mate, is a messaging phone with a full QWERTY keyboard.  Don’t ask me where that keyboard is in this picture (we’re guessing slider,) but I’m told that it also comes with a customizable homescreen that allows users access to web content such as news and weather.  Other features include a 1.3 Megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, a music player, and microSD slot. 

Interested?  The Cricket TXTM8 is available now for a price of $140.
