Hands-On with the Kyocera Echo dual-screen smart phone

[srt10kid]

i hate when you take a shit and the water splashes back at you

[adioo890]

@srt10kid lmao

[kodirome]

What would annoy me is the line going through the two screens when im trying to do something

[mleaniepie]

HELP! i want the echo for christmas. Can someone give me more infon on how the battery is, and how to bribe my parents? please reply! :0

[Brandyebee]

I have a love hate relationship. I dont find this easy to use.

[MrVideoman307]

Lol I'm watchin this vid on my echo

[nameskhan]

Also imagine if they get the middle part extremely thin, it will basically transform your phone into the galaxy note, then you can transform it back to put in your pocket or answer calls, etc...

[nameskhan]

I'll wait for the echo 2, where hopefully the middle part between the screens is thinner

[ChiodosxTriickz]

Can you text with just the single screen? Not folding it out

[1t3k1]

@ChiodosxTriickz yea

[DittyiD]

battery life- 15 minutes

[TheOn3LeftBehind]

Wow, overstimulation. :|

[hassambaber]

I'm getting mine today for free. Sprint has this deal where you get an instant discount and only pay 50 but get a $50 mail in rebate so your getting this phone for free. Success. It's a great phone.

[chas766]

bought one from sprint for net $13 once i turned in my $50 rebate... so far, its the best phone i have had

[LunaMyth2007]

Getting mine in acouple days~~~~<3 So excited!

[dariusbelk]

It's worth it if you dislike keyboard phones like me

[zuhair2012]

@Aislan4414 the price is like 450 it horrable

[maxspeed06]

How in the FUCK are you going to compare this to a iclone.Go and compare galaxy s2 or something like that.Not to this vid to the ass holes under me.No need to reply i'm not going to entertain you'r ignorance.

[surreal15m]

Clunky, ugly, fat, cheaply made, useless.

[chuckmarks2010]

i had this phone in 1972

[dramady225]

dose it go for boost mobile????

[kevinesam]

can i watch porn and be on facebook at the same time?

[MrPianoman6651]

it's a really good phone, took me about 2 or 3 days to get totally used to using android, but it's really nice and i got a discount on it for adding a new line for sprint ONLY $150 WITH AN $50 REBATE!!!!!!

[MrBazzzzinga]

let me scroll the email oh wait it doesnt oh let me show u other thing i can touch email and open on other screen what the fuck is that cheap hardware. This is difference between low grade companies and apple. Apple might take while to make something but atleast they make it work perfect

[Dreznin]

@MrBazzzzinga Someone obviously forgot about all the issues with the iPhone 2 launch... or were phones that couldn't be activated "working perfectly"? As for the "not working" bit - if you didn't notice, the e-mail didn't highlight when he showed the scrolling - there was no contact with the screen at that time. I've used an Echo since launch and haven't had any issues with it, it is actually a very high quality phone... and I don't need a special tool if I need to change out my battery.

[MrBazzzzinga]

@Dreznin Still it sucks and thats fact. I have iphone since first generation never had that issue of activation or anything. Its easy blame other companies when junk like that doesnt do what it suppose to do lol

[antonio15210]

@laptopmag do you like the keyboard & how is the battery life?

[TheKillerAnna95]

@antonio15210 about 7 hours.

[Skreechchannel]

hey! when we put it like this, it looks like a tablet, lets call that TABLET MODE!!

and when its like this, it looks like a pc, lets call that PC MODE! even though neither of those make a difference... it still acts the same way!

[mgs22222222222222222]

why is it that all the crappy networks get the best phones like sprint with this t-mobile with the sidekick and so on

[lolamartinezhello]

I wanted to get that phone but I got one ever better

[xilovexjustinxbieber]

@lolamartinezhello what phone?

[dorano103]

Because they are 3.5 diagonal. Not wide. Durp

[biglink123]

Ok so if there are two 3.5 inch screens how do they combine to make less than .u in

[erikabites1]

It looks hard to open

[TheKillerAnna95]

@erikabites1 it is. xD

[TheLoops1990]

I don't trust kyocera because of the sanyo zio which sucked

[DeanaBM]

I got this phone for my birthday and i have to say i love it.

[lilnigg99]

Nintendo DS after taking roids...Bullshit!!!

[JMKentnerd3000]

[anglequeen13]

@JMKentnerd3000 Sprit service is really good

[darthnowlin]

[Boarder701]

looks cool but wouldnt want the big black band across the middle of photos :(

[imade72]

[MiddleEastBeasties]

ironic how a dslike design phone is viewing playstation videos

[aamcatamney]

this looks terrible, bad interface and very laggy

[kayfay808]

Yah I frickn got one nd its frickin awesome!!!

[cr44183]

Saw this phone in this months buyers guide (best buy) and it was awesome , but I better work my ass of this summer to earn $200+

[2000000000sam]

nintendo called and said they want they're ds back. =)

[PKJohansson]

Ugliest phone i've ever seen.

[larebz]

i like the transition from tablet to pc, the technology is amazing lol

[xxkxxmxxpxx]

ima getttt it

[Cgolfsoccerguy]

This phone is so annoying to open. Ughhh

[FATERNAL1]

Thats shit looks like the best phone ever

[thenunez96]

eyefinity mobile!lol

[99kidney]

@wasleyskates

I feel exactly the same way

[jonwasleyskates]

wow i thought it was stupid when i saw the comercial but wow what phone is really cool. i feel lie it would become slow easily. and especially without 4G.

I'd try it, too bad im on verizon =)

[asitmc]

slightly over done.. nobody will buy this.

[columbiaunited2]

looks like a nintendo ds that can text

[breathedml]

Nifty!

[KoinGames]

Sprint is actually supporting this device as well as Android. It comes with a dev kit to utilize the dual screens. They are the first to truly innovate with dual screens. The 'click' you hear isn't bad- its what keeps it in place in the different screen modes. Sure, it's not perfect- but it's a great start. People dog on innovation until someone with a big name comes to steal the show and then OHH it's the best, you single screeners are lame! Just watch.

[mexicoolguy]

i think i fell in love with this phone xD

[44supernova]

@gtafan09 can anything?

[zegofresh23]

whats better that or the google nexus s or the samsung galaxy tab but remember that can text too wats the best???????? everyone feed bac to this and answer it

[Nishal97]

mini ds lol

[snake0033]

fringe phone :)

[estripp420]

i would buy this phone if it drops to free without contract :D it looks sweet but, it is a niche like, product.

[RandomShowTv]

just like a nintendo ds and i dont like toys. this phone sounds and is plastic the way it clicks when you pop it into place

[Joeguy1092]

How the hell are you suppose to txt in school with this ugly ass stupid phone... dont you people realize their trynna rape your pockets

[bigtunaization]

it doubled my pleasure

[SchoolWorkVideos]

lemme see the case for this...

[Tru3Be3st]

@SchoolWorkVideos lmao

[anglequeen13]

@SchoolWorkVideos Ebay

[nyle123nyle]

umm think about how many miss clicks you will hit with this phone but i have to be honest its a pretty sexy phone

[piplup123ruiz]

just like a nintendo ds didn't like this its ok but idk :/

[macosftw]

Nintendo DS Phone

[x619shortyx]

this phone is garbage lol

[Sammyv17]

At 1:32 he tries to scroll through his emails, but FAILS.......

[Dillon4Cavaliers]

hrm..its a smartphone mixed with Nintendo DS..interesting

[KnoeSyte]

they'r doing to much with this phone.. it seems complicated, u haft to do to much to even open the screen.. idk but i think the idea is good but the phone iss just to bulky, to complex to fragile and to just... idk it just does extras

[AnnaLicious12]

phones hot...but sprint sucks

[MoFanz]

Awesome idea, beautiful phone, but HORRIBLE OS. I have an MP3 player with more sophisticated firmware.

[heatherd505]

seriously.. two screens?... hahaha

[heatherd505]

this phone is stupid.

[MCruz945]

Kyocera makes the worst phones ever this one the worst.

[Rtree115]

gameboy did it 1st

[MSteveYang]

this phone is garbage. it doesnt even have 4g

[ASAXON9]

i just feel there is something wrong about this phone . idk , it looks slow !!

[jackntheboks]

battery life probably blows

[GypsyLilah17]

it looks like a DS on crack

[GypsyLilah17]

@angelo171 lmao thats true we wouldits looks like a DS on crack

[GypsyLilah17]

@angelo171 lmao thats true we would

[ComradeNF]

Sprint is gonna double my pleasure? Man, I'm horny now.

[LUMBEEpRIDe777]

but will it blend?

[Masowai]

Maybe the Best Buy employee who bought and smashed an iPad (in the parking lot the day it went on sale) will blend or at destroy one.

[bigbadTF]

this phone is definitely for anyone thats really good with a Nintendo DS

[chris978820]

Verizon should make some phones like this. with a front facing camera. if they make the release date for spring of 2012 it would probably be available by 2015 if we are lucky. so they should hurry up with making it.

[cole909cole]

opening it seems to be a pain in the ass

[MissMikiLeigh13]

*seam

[JaeAR20]

Why did Kyocera have to make this dammit they have no credibility in the game right now you can't djump from making Walmart prepaids to smart phones. Stop it.

[jstuy1234]

it dnt have android sucks

[cmtz3]

Since i work at Boeing with dual screen computers all day, the seem in the middle wouldn't bother me too much and I'm considering trading my Evo for an Echo.

[LOLKIID3]

I want that s**t so bad

[gyuck]

I can't wait for a triple screened phone! Jk, but THAT is what I call a smart phone!

[colemanhampton]

I think the seem in the middle would bother me

[soty022092]

Good luck to the companies trying to design a protective case for this thing!

[coryrockster123]

This looks so amazingly-amazing.

[trufiend138]

it all comes down to app developers...will they program with dual screens in mind? i wouldnt hold breath....

[casas431]

Cool

[casas431]

They should put this phone on cricket!!!

[threethousandwords]

Mediocre Gadget is Mediocre.



[solid23la]

I RATHER BUY A NINTENDO 3DS !

[milanv69]

the concept and idea of this phone is great. and they carried it out very well. hopefully in the next gen it might look a little better. but well done by kyocera.

[superairsoft100]

this is a very great phone next time i get an upgrade im going to this one

[AtomicThreatClan]

its way to fat

[angelo171]

apple fans would buy a paper toilet for 150$ if it has a apple logo

[GTItoTTS]

@angelo171 old sense of humor..

[nischalgautam1]

@angelo171 fuck u

[angelo171]

@nischalgautam1 what happen ur apple paper toilet wasted?

[ajlols123]

@angelo171: true some people are really stupid and buy apple products just cuz of the logo... im not one of those people... but name me a person who's gotten a virus on their mac.

[curseknight5]

@angelo171 i don't know what your complaining about you apple hater? Everything nowadays are costly. Don't believe in the bull that apple is more expensive blah blah blah. They have there benefits.

[angelo171]

@curseknight5 did you know that a $200 ipod really cost $90 so imagine what a ipod shuffle cost maybe $10 so yea its overpriced

[thumbcraze]

@angelo171 It doesn't even need to be 2 ply

[vandykusuma]

@angelo171 it means apple was expensive too in ur country?

[myspace904]

.. that big ass black bar in the middle.. i mean like why is he trying to pretend its not there?

[raquiros]

Sucks.... Apple wannabes

[mAdHaTTer3392]

@raquiros ? how? apple didnt make anything like this? i hate how everyone compares every new piece of technology to apple

[mAdHaTTer3392]

@raquiros ? How? Apple didnt make anything like this? I hate how everyone compares every new piece of technology to Apple

[Khalidisyna]

nice batik shirt



[ThexBorg]

Wow..... A single patent for the hinge..hmmm innovation! 2 batteries... A couple hours until recharge...

[roxie2112]

I dnt like the way it opens....it looks plain like the g1 from tmobile....sanyo needs to step up their style...

[IamKeyLay]

Interesting

[stepbrothersisfunny]

That's what a nintendo day is for....

[iluvutewb11]

I dont think this even has a camera. It hits shelves april 17th but oddly it hasnt caught my interest.. Sprint should realize that the EVO 3D is gonna overshadow this phone in a big way.

[naturalbeautySeven]

@iluvutewb11 It has a 5MP camera and a 720p HD camcorder.

[crappyasiana]

it would look ugly even though apple came out with it first. there is a gap in the middle so disgusting lol. maybe if apple brings dual screen it would have no gap

[KH12010]

I see a DS emulator being the one thing this phone would have over others.

[rmeyer845]

Fuck that piece if Shit!!!!!!!!! I'm sick of Sprint and their CRAPPY NETWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheap plastic phones, you have to walk outside to make a call... Trust me, I have them and wish my parents would let me leave for the Verizon iPhone 4!!!!!!!!!!! So much better all around!!!!!!!!!!!

[DarthMartin89]

This phone is very difficult to open and close.

[jak3legacy]

Nvm, he's referring to width, but still, why would he refer to different dimensions?

[jak3legacy]

How the hell is 3.5 + 3.5 = 4.7?

[KH12010]

@jak3legacy diagonally

[kenichi3711]

@jak3legacy because you have to recalculate the screen diagonally after putting the screens together.

[gtafan09]

Can it run Crysis in full settings?

[mart182003]

@gtafan09 i read that it can, it also has 3d an full hd 1080p, also has mini bluray player. lol

[walltowall5]

its like a DS... a miniDS :O

[majentareviews]

that crack noise when he puts it in and out of tablet mode sounds really bad

[bladegeo]

looks like a nintendo ds

[ffbad247]

can you explain if this has dual 3.5 screens but when used together its 4.7 the math doesn't add up

[CheeseCakes0101]

@ffbad247 The screen size is measured from a diagonal corner to the opposite diagonal corner so you can't just add their individual screen sizes up.

[Yerizzo]

@MegaMnguyen not inside, but they do give you a extra battery with it's own charging cover.

[nguyenthanh8]

This device looks really cool , but coming from kyocera it's making me a bit nervous about it . Let's just hope it turns out good .

[panchogordo1]

needs a slide out keyboard

[kidduelists]

aye thats tight as fuck

[biplav32]

I want it. I want it.

[tshankd]

i am a sprint rep, this phone looks cool in theroy, but the fact its a kyocera makes me nervous, they SUCK!!! if were an HTC device i would be happy

[bsmoove69]

Dont see any use for two screen...just another gimmick just like the evo 3d...why should u need something you dont need...

[Yerizzo]

@bsmoove69 The same reason why people want bigger tv's when smaller tv's have the same resolution.

[SuperAwais12]

i like it but wat if i pull the fone out to hard and it gets stuck : /

[oscargrandajarrin]

sooo fu#### cool!!!!!!!!

[LeMinz88]

Cool idea but ugly as sin.

[ciflores0]

Wait so in 'PC mode'... you've got a 3.5inch touch screen for a keyboard, but it's still a four row one?

[kidduelists]

@ciflores0 ikr? whats up with that

[ToonSxO]

uhmmm it looks okay

[Umairmalikh]

ugly/////

[code933k]

@Umairmalikh Yeah, sure! It's ugly compared to a brick with an apple sticker in it. I'll buy one of this ASAP. It's what I was waiting for.

[nfootball44]

i ike it but im in school so when im in their when i wanna text fast im going to have to go through that trouble just so i can txt plus two more things that need to be agusted is that when its in tablet mode you have that big line in it and the other it needs a freakin front faceing camera for video chating thats the new thing so wtf????

[kidFlash808]

it looks kinda ugly and 2 batteries you guys need to make it 1 battery other then that okay phone

[xKOBR4Hx]

@kidFlash808 They give two batteries because they know that ALL droid batteries have shitty lives..

[redcharlie123]

Awesome phone this might beat up apple

[mets3214]

this is actually impresssive, great innovation from kyocera
