14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone carrier Sprint has just made available for purchase on its airwaves a new handset running under Google' Android operating system, namely the Kyocera Echo, though only for its Premier customers at the moment, followed by general availability in a couple of days. The new device was launched only recently, with Google's Android operating system on board, and with 3.5-inch dual touchscreen displays that boast a WVGA resolution.
Moreover, we should note that Sprint put the device on pre-order in late March, with a price tag of $199 attached to it, after a $100 instant rebate, and upon the signing of a two-year contract agreement with the wireless carrier.
Users interested in the purchase of this device should head over to Sprint's website to order a unit.
While loyal Sprint customers can already purchase the new device, the rest of them would be able to acquire it in only two days, namely on April 17th, so stay tuned for more on the matter.
Provided that there still are some who haven't got the chance to take a look at the device, we should note that the handset arrives with the aforementioned touchscreen displays, which can be used as a single screen, measuring 4.7-inch in diagonal.
The mobile phone is powered by Google's Android 2.2 Froyo operating system, and comes with support for a wide range of Google Mobile Services, as well as with access to the Android Market, from where users would be able to download a great deal of applications for it.
The specifications list of the new Kyocera Echo smartphone also includes Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) and Bluetooth 2.1 (+ EDR) capabilities, along with 3G connectivity, and Wi-Fi hotspot features.
On the back, the new device sports a 5-megapixel photo snapper with auto focus and flash, which is capable of shooting videos at 720p HD. (via)
