InfoSonics Launches New Ultra Compact i3152G Phone in Latin America

SAN DIEGO, May 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- InfoSonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IFON) today announced the launch of its new verykool®i315 handset and first customer shipment to Latin America.

"The i315 is an ultra compact phone that we believe will appeal to female and younger generation customers," said Joseph Ram, the company's president and chief executive officer.  "The i315 is a new model in a series of phones focused on innovation and differentiation.  The phone is so small that it can be tucked into the smallest pocket or purse.  One of its unique features is that it is also an MP3 player with 2 gigabytes of embedded memory, one of the largest in its class.  Furthermore, the MP3 controls are external and can be activated even when the phone is closed.  Some reviewers say the i315 is like an MP3 player that is also a phone.  We are excited about the prospects of this new verykool phone."

The Company noted that the i315 also has the following features:

• Dual band (850/1900 or 900/1800)
• VGA camera with digital CMOS
• MP3, MPEG4, FM radio and voice recording capability
• Bluetooth connectivity
• Data capabilities with USB 1.2, WAP 2.0 and SMS/MMS messaging
• 2GB internal memory
• Speakerphone, 64 polyphonic ringtones, 2.5mm audio jack and stereo headset included

The verykool®i315 is available in two versions:  a single SIM version for operator customers and a dual SIM version for the open market.  Both versions are available and shipping now.  To learn more about the device, visit our verykool® website at http://www.verykool.net/Phones/i315.
