Sprint will launch the Echo, manufactured by Kyocera, powered by the Android 2.2 OS, sold for about $200 with a contract and set to hit shelves on April 17th.
The kicker here is that the Echo, unlike other Kyocera phones, will ship with two screens, both of which can be used to run all sorts of applications, from Facebook to an email client.
Sprint says the two screens let the Echo carry out unique functions.
Among them: the "Simul-Task" mode (and yes, that name is patented), which can run two apps concurrently, on different screens; the "Optimized" mode, which uses both screens to run the same app; and the "Tablet" mode, where "one application spread across both displays for a full 4.7-inch viewing area."
It has Wi-Fi hotspot capability, a 5-megapixel camera with flash, autofocus, and digital zoom, and 720p camcorder. It has 1GB of onboard memory, and an 8GB microSD card for the external memory card slot, which can expand up to 32GB.
