The Kyocera Echo will be launching April 17th on Sprint for $199.99 with a two-year contract.
Introduced last month at an event in New York City, the Kyocera Echo is a dual-screen Android phone that features two 3.5-inch LCD WVGA displays. The new phone will allow you to run one app in the closed setting, two apps in separate windows when you open it or have the two screens work in conjunction to form a 4.7-inch diagonal screen. (albeit with a hinge going through the middle)
Preorders begin on March 26th at Sprint.com/echo.
