Nope. It's a carp
Main Entry: koi
Pronunciation: 'koi
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural koi
Etymology: Japanese
: a carp (Cyprinus carpio) bred especially in Japan for large size and a variety of colors and often stocked in ornamental ponds
(from Miriam-Webster)

Oh come on, I mean who wouldn't want to hold a phone named after a fish to their ear! 😁

I want this phone, do you know when gonna be out for uscc.
Thanks
...
Is this a tentative date or do you have solid info it will be out on the 24th.
thanks for your help
...
It will be available to stores on the 24th for sure. Although it may take a few days for some stores to actually receive it. 😁

for vzw they are giving us similar projections...i'm actually getting excited myself...i saw it by a kyocera rep in mid summer and really liked it...but vzw always pushes back release dates...esp right before it gets released...its frustrating
