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.

Kyocera Echo (Sprint)

The Kyocera Echo, for Sprint, has an unusual dual-screen design where the two LCD screens can merge into one huge screen.

Kyocera Echo Open

When you open the phone, you can run two programs on the different screens - like a Web browser on one screen and the image gallery on the other.

Kyocera Echo Map

Apps can also be made to span both screens, like in this instance of Google Maps - so you have a 4.7-inch, 800-by-960 screen to work with.

Kyocera Echo Simultasking

Here we have the Echo's screens snapped open with two apps running. You can see the hinge on the left side of this shot.

Kyocera Echo Side

Open, the Echo is pretty slim, but that hinge does stick out. The hinge is surprisingly sturdy.

Kyocera Echo Bottom

Closed, the Echo is a rather thick phone but it still fits in a pocket.
