Introducing the Kyocera Echo from Sprint, the nation's first dual-touchscreen smartphone. Use each screen independently, or bring them together in one big 4.7-inch display. It’s powered by Android, so more than 150,000 apps are just a download away. A full HTML web browser with Flash 10.1 is optimized for dual screens. You'll enjoy fast 3G speeds from Sprint's high-speed, dependable EV-DO network, and you'll be able to access optional Sprint services such as Telenav GPS Navigator, Sprint TV and Movies (for video-on-demand with full-motion video and vivid sound), Sprint Music Plus, and more via the Sprint Zone. And the 1GHz Snapdragon processor makes multitasking even faster.
