Gorgeous displaysNear-flawless softwareTwo screens truly are useful
A tad chunkyNo WiMAXPoor Simul-Task app selection
Is the Echo for everyone? Certainly not. But then again, neither is the expansive Thunderbolt, the larger-than-life Streak or the close-minded iPhone 4. What the Echo delivers is an entirely new approach to Android, and somehow, Kyocera has managed to add...
The Kyocera Echo is certainly one of most intriguing handsets to come along in recent memory. Do two screens make for a better handset? That really depends on your point of view. First, the Kyocera fails the basics in my book. The two screens necessit...

The Kyocera Echo has a one-of-kind design that offers two screens and the ability to use two applications at once. Call quality is acceptable and the smartphone is quick and responsive
The Kyocera Echo's design entails some usability quirks and we're concerned about long-term durability. The feature set is pretty average, it lacks 4G, and you'll have to wait for an upgrade beyond Froyo
The Kyocera Echo's design offers some unique advantages, but its appeal is hampered by usability quirks and a lackluster feature set.
Innovative design, Compelling dual-screen software, Clear call quality, Long battery life in full-screen mode, Includes extra battery
No 4G and mediocre 3G Speeds, Bulky design, Screen-slide motion tricky to master, Short battery life in dual-screen mode
The $199 dual-screen Kyocera Echo is not just an interesting proof of concept or a gimmick; it's a dual-screen dynamo that delivers a truly unique and compelling multitasking experience that you won't find on any other handset today. If you're looking ...
I’ve really liked using the Kyocera Echo on and off for around a week. The concept really is innovative and it definitely pushes the boundaries of what’s possible on your mobile phone. Just as many people like to have two displays on their computer set...
Dual screens mean you can do two things at once. Dual-screen games are pretty awesome.
Not enough apps use the two screens. "Simultasking" apps don't work well together. Merged screens have bezel in center and odd aspect ratio. Short battery life in two-screen mode.
The Android-based Kyocera Echo for Sprint is a flawed first attempt at an interesting concept. Not enough software supports dual-screen multitasking for this gutsy design to pay off. ...
Running two applications side by side is useful, Unique design and idea
Hardware feels gimmicky, Dismal battery life
Aside from having a larger area for Web browsing, the Echo doesn't seem to benefit greatly from having two screens. Most of the time, the second screen on the Echo feels like a bit of a gimmick. A physical keyboard might have been a better use of the ...
Abstract: On February 7th, 2011, Sprint unveiled a new smartphone that it was rumored would change the face of the smartphone industry. That particular smartphone was the Kyoecera Echo. Kyocera currently isn't one of the well known brands in the United States. ...
Abstract: Woe is the smartphone carrier and manufacturer that tries something new, apparently. That much was apparent from the comments before, during and after Sprint's unveiling of the Kyocera Echo dual-screen smartphone at a special event in the Edison Ballro...

I came away unimpressed and a bit confused. Why hold an event for this and commission David Blaine to provide entertainment? Sure, this is an industry first, but being innovative is not tantamount to being good. The Echo's design is awkward – even the l...
