Crickets may be small and almost invisible creatures, but here’s one cricket big enough to catch everyone’s fancy. The Cricket TXTM8 is one device that’s ideal for young people who take communication seriously.

Young cellphone users send each other text and picture messages all day long, as opposed to making calls which is more expensive. The young consumers need a phone that is easier to manipulate for such purposes, and the Cricket TXTM8 phone is on top of that list.

This phone is codenamed appropriately, and if you are a heavy texter then you would realize that the TXTM8 means text mate! Personal Communications Devices (developer of TXTM8 for Cricket) president Philip Christopher said the Cricket TXTM8 phone has a trendy design, and just the perfect size that fits in the palm of your hands.

Texting has become a significant part of everyday life, not only for young consumers, but also for other people, even those engaged in business. It has in fact become the top method, for easy and quick communications.

The Cricket TXTM8 phone is capable of accessing social networking sites. With the phone’s Cricket MyHomeScreen, you get instant access to news, entertainment, weather and other sites.

Slide the phone vertically and it will show a QWERTY keypad, just below the 2.2 inches TFT color display. It comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera with zoom, so you are actually getting not just a phone for text messaging but for a multitude of purpose.
