With the phone closed, it looks and performs exactly like a regular Android phone, but flip it open and where you8217d normally expect to find a QWERTY keyboard, you8217ll find another screen instead.pp styletextalign justifyWhile the screen can be angled towards you, it gets really clever when you lay it flat and lock it together. Kyocera call this 8216Tablet Mode8217 as the two screens form one 4.78243 touchscreen with an 800 x 960 pixel resolution. Here, seven apps 8211 such as email, SMS and the web browser 8211 have been specially configured to make use of the increased screen real estate. This means the keyboard could appear on the bottom with your typed words above, or a web page will spread over the two screens to form one picture.pp styletextalign justifyThis certainly makes the Echo stand out, as it looks like a Nintendo DS smartphone, but as to how useful the two screens will really be, we8217re not sure. Other features include a 5 megapixel camera with HD video, GPS, WiFi, a microSD card slot and Bluetooth 2.1. Inside is a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor and the phone runs Android 2.2.pp styletextalign justifyUnfortunately, the Echo is being launched exclusively on Sprint in the USA, meaning it8217s a CDMA phone and isn8217t compatible with most European networks. Depending on its success 8211 and Kyocera8217s ambitions outside the US 8211 perhaps they8217ll engineer a GSM version in the future. If they did, would you want to give this smartphoneDStablet hybrid a trypp styletextalign justifyYou can see the Echo in action in the video belowpp styletextalign justifyobject classidclsidd27cdb6eae6d11cf96b8444553540000 width425 height350 codebasehttpdownload.macromedia.compubshockwavecabsflashswflash.cabversion6,0,40,0param namesrc valuehttpwww.youtube.comvzk7nf6TNHH4 embed typeapplicationxshockwaveflash width425 height350 srchttpwww.youtube.comvzk7nf6TNHH4embedobjectpa targetblank relnofollow hrefhttpblog.dialaphone.co.uk20110209kyoceraechoclaimsworldsfirstdualscreenandroidcrownMobile Phone Bloga
