Kyocera Echo Sports Two Displays, Hinged Design
Bittersweet
Sweet:
I am totally in love with the concept. Absolutely ground breaking. Multi-tasking to the next level. Two screens definitely better than one. Love how the second screen doubles as qwerty keyboard. Definitely an industry first and something I could transition to. Nothing like it.
Bitter:
I'm not a fan of the limited screen real estate with the size of the phone. If a phone is going to be this large, more screen and a little less hardware would be my preference. Battery life must be horrific. Limited functions for the simul- tasking seems to be a temporary drawback. Hopefully it will improve. Limited directed market. Not for everyone. Anything with hinges like this, is an accident waiting to happen. Lack of 4G was a disappointment, b...

Bitter: It's a Kyocera. Based on their well earned track record. No phone will make it a year without issues. I thought the Q was bad (and it was) but I forgot how lousy these guys build phones.

Your posts are usually very high quality even as a verizon rep (j/k) but you have bashed Kyocera to no end in alot of threads, once is enough, starting to sound like that sprint dude that always posts crap (cant remember his name). Sanyo for me has made the best basic phones on the planet, its about time they got into the market of higher end phones.

Must say since Sanyo sold their wireless division and name off to that company that makes gas station pre paid phones Kyocera, I've been truly disappointed in the crap that they have generated under the once respectable Sanyo name. Over styled plastic pieces of junk that won't last the 24 month contract that they require.
Although I am open minded to a once crap name coming from behind to become a formidable competitor in the wireless arena let's not forget the Audiovox to UT Starcom to HTC metamorphosis... just for the record I am a huge fan of HTC and all their hardware but just how lame and not well thought out is the name High Tech Computer
Thank you your local Phone Scoop Troll

AMEN! Kyocera should have handed handset production to Sanyo EXCLUSIVELY and take care of the rest. I own several Sanyo phones, all of them are GREAT phones... can't say the same for the garbage Kyocera pumps up while defiling the Sanyo name.

I don't know. The Toshiba handsets marketed under the Audiovox name were good. Those Mitsubishi's though....*Groan* I don't know what happened. At some point HTC just lifted off. Once they started making just smartphones perhaps?

HTC was not cool. Once they came out with a "wow" device, they suddenly are noticed. Isn't that a bitch?
Success stories of crap? MOTO Razor and MOTO Q. Horrible. Yet everyone wanted one. New products come out and they get shoved back into the incinerator. Then they come back shooting with Droids. Everyone loves them.
Kyocera? I would like to think that with the money they are putting on the line here with this device, they just may have put more time and effort into improving their product and name.Time will tell.

Tell me about it. I paid $239.99 plus tax ($261) and that was the CONTRACT PRICE!!!
*BLEEPERS*
The best thing about that purchase was I still have the grandfathered rate plan. Finally, I have a phone that let's me take advantage of all that Unlimited.

No. I absolutely refuse to give Motorola another dime of my money. When the Droid came out my rant was very similar to this.

The differnce between me and that guy is that I don't like Verizon. (I AM a disgruntled ex-employee after all). He likes Sprint. I am not bashing Sprint...just Kyocera. I LOVE the EVO (Supersonic is still a better name) and the fact that it was coming to Sprint made me love it all the more. Don't believe it? Check out the romor forum. I was there MONTHS before it launched musing over how awesome the phone would be. Do I have a problem with Kyocera? *Bleep* yes! I do not apologize for it. They make *Bleep*ty handsets. The End.
