Now dubbed the Fusic, the EV-DO clamshell boasts Bluetooth, an FM transmitter, and access to the Sprint Music Store.
The Fusic, an exclusive to Sprint’s handset lineup, will arrive on May 28 for $329, or $179 with a two-year service agreement, according to a press release.
A slim-and-trim music phone, the Fusic (which we saw at CTIA 2006 when it was still called the LX550) comes with a media player, Bluetooth (with support for stereo headsets), a microSD expansion slot, a 1.3-megapixel camera that doubles as a camcorder, and an FM transmitter that lets you broadcast your tunes to any nearby FM radio. You can also replace the phone's faceplate (blue, green, pink, and black flavors are available).
