This whole conference for the echo o.o wow Sprint I WAS so excited

I will LMAO if the Echo is the big thing to make a deal over with Sprint. The Zio was a joke, and Kyocera has no prior smartphone experience to that. Of course, maybe they can repent their zio mistakes and give us a stellar phone but Im not holding my breath, hopefully a HTC 3D phone is what it is instead

I'm guessing this announcement is including something major with plan changes as well.

An illusionist brought in for the Echo??? Not buying it. I am sure Sprint is hoping to propel itself into the Spring/Summer selling season with whatever is planed for tonight. They have chosen to do their own thing instead of getting lost in the shuffel of the other events- CES, MWC- buried by the larger carriers. I love choices, and will be making decisions on new phones this summer for myself and my wife, and I am hoping Sprint does good. I am by nature a cheap person, and Sprint is quite a bit less coin then others. Come on guys, give me an excuse....

Booo - we all waited for this "milestone" device... reminds me of the Kin (RIP).
Where are the dual cores?
Where are the honeycomb tablets?
(heckle heckle)

I'm pretty dissapointed thus far.. there better be something else....

16. pochi (unregistered) posted on 07 Feb 2011, 17:41 0

this is a disappointment to be a so call industry first and no 4G!!! and you have to pay extra $10 a month for a non 4G phone bad move by sprint indeed

17. gatordotcom posted on 07 Feb 2011, 17:41 0

boring!

18. Cassels (unregistered) posted on 07 Feb 2011, 17:41 1

Well I guess to Verizon I go. Unless there is something else but I doubt it!

19. lexicommonzero (unregistered) posted on 07 Feb 2011, 17:43 1

lame it really is the sanyo phone, dual screen phone doesnt appeal to me, although kudos to sanyo fit coming out with a high end phone that's a first in itself, but lame

20. Wes (unregistered) posted on 07 Feb 2011, 17:43 0

Very disappointing another android... oh wait 2 screens.. GAY

21. gatordotcom posted on 07 Feb 2011, 17:43 1

I am a big sprint fan but the longer this goes on the more disappointed ill be

22. pochi (unregistered) posted on 07 Feb 2011, 17:46 1

people with all this verzion bull like they not even much better then sprint at all... you pay like $40 more to get wat u can get with sprint plans and u can get way more discount with sprint like i get 25% ad another $20 off just cause i been with them 5 years and now how to talk to them nicely ad when i have problems Verizon reps are cheap and strict... HTC Evo is still a top phone even tho the battery sucks on ebay 2 batteries with a charger $11 and there u go ur battery problems are solve and all that Iphone crap is useless ill get a HTC Thunderbolt over the iphone any day if i was with Verizon

23. bogdookie (unregistered) posted on 07 Feb 2011, 17:49 1

this is totally bunk. what a let down sprint....

24. Loyal Sprint Customer (unregistered) posted on 07 Feb 2011, 17:53 1

Tell Sprint that I am leaving their network...

26. Disappointed (unregistered) posted on 07 Feb 2011, 17:54 1

W.E.A.K. that's the sound of Sprint spending millions on a phone that will tank and nobody will buy except eccentric 12yr olds who want something as "cool" as their DS.

28. Socalvenom (unregistered) posted on 07 Feb 2011, 17:57 1

Just got off Sprint.com and they have all the info on the Echo. I for one wasn't impressed and to tell you the truth I hate the concept. To make the matters worse it only has a 1300ish battery so expect no more then 3 to 4 hours tops of talk time assuming who ever buys this spends a long period of the time facebooking it watching videos and what I loved the most about this new Industry first is that it does rock a double touch screen but no 4g unless I read something wrong but If anyone doesn't believe me go check out the official specs on Sprint's web page under news.

31. mjblack posted on 07 Feb 2011, 17:57 1

Really all the hype for this phone what a joke!!!!!!

32. snowgator posted on 07 Feb 2011, 18:05 1

I am not really sure who they are marketing this too... I guess the younger crowd who watches TV on their phones. Really, who else would be interested? 4G is really not that important yet, but in another 12 months or so it will be, so why not push this "industry first" into the EVO catagory? Strange, strange event.

FAIL!!!!!!!!

34. TKFox007 posted on 07 Feb 2011, 18:07 1

Wow a phone with two touch screens, how exhilarating....... /sarcasm

35. twashington4 posted on 07 Feb 2011, 18:09 2

Great...no 4G, no iPhone 4, no LG Optimus 3D, no HTC 7 Pro (good grief, noone's going to even car about that phone by the time it's released), nothing to stay on par with the Bionic or the Atrix 4G. No nothing. What's so "industry first" about this? Didn't the LG enV have two screens? Ok, so it may not have acted in the same manner as these two screens, but I don't get the hype. Where the heck are the WP7 phones?? I guess we are gonna just milk the Evo to death. They'll probably release something by August or October, but who cares by then? Everyone will start going for Bionics and Atrix's by then. I guess I'm stuck with an Evo (which isn't bad), but I was just hoping for more.

I am a longtime sprint customer and i cannot believe they would come out which such a crapy phone and knowning that they would be and will be crushed by the verizon Iphone , hmmmmm makes me really want to think of changing compnies
