Sprint Introducing Kyocera Echo, First Dual Touchscreen Smartphone

Sprint Nextel Corp. on Monday unveiled a smart phone with two screens, one stacked on top of the other. The top screen slides out and can be snapped it into place so that the two lay side by side, producing screen space that rivals a tablet computer.
The phone, called the Echo, is made by Japanese manufacturer Kyocera Corp. and has screens that are each the size of an iPhone's display. Put together, they create a larger space for typing e-mails, playing games and watching videos. The resulting display is still about half the size of an iPad's. But it's still a larger surface area than those found on most phones.

Today, Sprint has just announced their first dual touchscreen smartphone. The device is the result of partnership between Kyocera and Sprint. The Kyocera Echo was made with a tablet-like form but still capable to be place into your pocket like normal smartphone.
