That would be incredibly awesome!
The "sexy lady" I mean....
But really, EVO slider tablet? Damn sick.
In all honesty, when I read that article I went from to :| to X(
Okay guys, we had a run with our top of the line phone. Kills me that we're about to be outed by the "EVO 2". Wasn't expecting a predecessor so quickly.
Lastly, I was at a public event here in Las Vegas, Nevada today called Aviation Nation where the US air force does a little bit of showing off. Well anyways, I saw a surprising amount of EVO's there, at least 6. Versus 4 or 5 iPhone 4's.
What can I say? Phones gone particularly mainstream.

You're completely right, I just called and told them to delay their dual core designs.

I have a feeling this is going to be Sprint's version of the Desire Z/G2. Stoked on the keyboard. Not stoked on the .6 inch screen size drop.

I haven't seen a Nexus One in ages. I think the Nexus Two is a little premature, it's pretty much a Galaxy S. So dumb... Big G is starting to push it.

While you're at it, tell them never to release the WiMax 2 Standard and to be sure that all of the newer version of Android 2.3/3/4/5 and so on will work on the HTC Evo.
Also, get Steve Jobs on the line and have Apple file for bankruptcy.
Thanks man, totally appreciate it.

Where does it say the screen would be 3.7 inches? I looked over the article and application, and neither mentions any specs, let alone screen size, unless I'm just blind, of course.

The Desire Z/G2 is 3.7". It also might be a Sprint version of the Merge coming to VZW. That one has a 3.8" screen. I'm just going by the leaked pic of the Knight/Speedy from a couple weeks back. It was noticeably smaller than the EVO.

Do you think it'll be more like shift or evo?
I hope it'll be evo size with full slide out tilting keyboard like touch pro2. I can deal with a little more thickness. But I don't think I want something I can't fit in my pants pocket.

I feel bad for idiots... -.-

I was just browsing the ATT site cause I'm due for an upgrade. The only phone running android other than the aria worth getting is the captivate, but I still love my aria and its gonna take one monster of a phone to get me away from it. Anyway, I stumbled on the aria's product page and read a few 1 star reviews from the "average" person... They generally hate this phone, they don't understand simple concepts... like using the phone correctly... It's so depressing, I'd hate to be such a primitive minded person in these technology driven times, I'd post a link to a guide to root the phone if I didn't already know att would delete it, and possibly punish me for breach of contract.

CES is less than 2 weeks away. HTC and ATT are supposed to announce a premier partnership, and unveil a Dual core HTC Android that is supposed to kill everything lit there.

Fo Sho! My friend is pretty excited about it! The HTC guy said that there are going to be some pretty amazing phones at CES. There was a post a while back on a website, and the guy said that he was testing a 4" screen HTC model with front and rear camera. Wish I could find the link, I have been searching for hrs.
Look man, I am just telling you what I have heard, take it as you will!

Does XDA have an ignore feature? This forum would be much more enjoyable without Kaschenberg.

Oh man, yeah, I can't wait for a dual core android... portable n64 anyone? lol, prolly won't go THAT far, but it certainly will before you know it, now... if only I could connect my ps3 controller with bluetooth...

Awesome, I just checked the Aria reviews on the AT&T site and mine was the #1 most helpful! I'm glad I can help sway some opinions in favor of the Aria.

While it's very l33t and in line with this forum in general to root your phone, in no way does the Aria require rooting. Anyone giving it a 1 star rating probably should just stick to Razr's.
My wife's Aria is stock and she loves it. It's fast, smooth, and besides her seemingly ALWAYS getting "select vs dial" confused in the dialer, she has zero problems with it. Only minor problem she has is seemingly inconsistent battery life.. Sometimes she'll get 2 days, sometimes it's 12 hours, even with her fairly constant type of usage.

oh yeah, I completely agree, the only reason I finally rooted MY aria was for the overclock kernel so I could fully enjoy the SNES emu I paid for. I was so reluctant to root originally cause stock was just so enjoyable for me.
Also, please don't dis the Razr :'( My last phone was a gold Razr V3xx which had bookworm on it with a game scoring over 28 mil, and the sickest tower defense game ever put on a phone via .jar files... But I do get your point

Yeah, it will. There's some super bulky prototype models you can go buy from personal sellers that run you about 300 bucks and is basically an N64 just with a custom plastic molded case for handheld use. But I bet a hacked 3DS will be around much sooner than a phone with native N64 support... Hopefully, I'm wrong, but the best part is, doesn't matter if I am!

That shouldn't be too far off the horizon. There is a playstation 1 emulator already and graphics-wise they were very similar.

To the untrained eye the graphics of a PS1 and N64 may LOOK to be very similar. But there are WAY more factors involved other than how the graphics may appear to look from each system. An N64 emulator as I've read to believe requires almost 5 times the power of the hardware required to run a PS1 emulator. Possibly even MORE hardware power is required depending on the game you want to play (like games that used the expansion pack). The N64 portable emu (short of a modified N64) is a little further off than you may think... But I wouldn't be surprised if some betas spring up sometime this year.

i agree.. its the most simple interface you can possibly get. menu/settings
menu/apps menu/wallpaper
if you want something done, push fking menu! xD
oh yeah, dual core plz

Could this be the big announcement??

Came across this article and it got me thinking. Sprint has a huge announcement to make very soon, and says they are making the impossible possible. My first thought was a glasses free 3D phone. And this just got me really exited for it. HTC wants to be the first to do a 3D phone, the article picture shows an Android phone, and by the coloring its all white and the woman is wearing a yellow scarf. Something Sprint loves to do in tv commercials. Could it possibly be?? Here's the link...

I sure hope not. If the successor to the EVO is a 3D phone, I will move on to one of the dual cores that was just announced. 3D is a gimmick, and a cheesy one at that. Definitely do NOT want it on my phone.

If they implement it properly then yeah, that's one thing. But look at what happened with HDMI. For a while we sacrificed our FPS so they could put a practically useless HDMI port on the phone. I hope there isn't a trade off like that with 3D. I have yet to see a parallax barrier display in person, but from what I have read about it I doubt that won't have a negative effect on how the screen looks with the 3D turned off, which is what i'm worried about. Heck the parallax barrier is a physical lens in front of the screen, how can you turn that off?

That's a good point. I wouldn't want it on all the time, just for show. But again with the 3DS, it suppose to have a on/off switch for the 3D effect so a setting in the phone should be able to do the same.

Top Stories Sprint's Kyocera Echo dual-screen Android phone announced, we go hands-on

Sprint's Kyocera Echo dual-screen Android phone announced, we go hands-on (update)
By Nilay Patel posted Feb 7th 2011 6:30PM
Hands-On
Sprint promised us an "industry first" at its event today, and it certainly delivered: check out the Kyocera Echo, the first dual-screen Android phone. That's right, dual-screen -- that's two 3.5-inch 480 x 800 displays which can be unfolded and used as a single 4.7-inch 960 x 800 surface. The screens are connected by a slick sliding liquid-metal hinge that Kyocera's filed several patents on -- the phone can be closed and used like a regular single-screen phone, unfolded all the way, or propped up into the faux-laptop configuration shown above. Under the hood there's a 1GHz second-gen Snapdragon running Android 2.2 -- we'll forgive the older software because Kyocera had to do extensive customization to add dual-screen support to seven core apps like the browser, email, and messaging. The seven optimized apps can be run on each screen individually so you can have the browser up top and email below, and several of them include useful full-dual-screen views as well. There's also a new dual-screen app manager, which is brought up by tapping the two screens simultaneously. Unfortunately, third party apps can't be run in any of the new modes and just fill the entire display for now -- Kyocera and Sprint say an SDK is coming shortly.

Even tho it doesn't really sound too appealing to me... I am really glad it isn't some form of a tablet. I feel like smartphones are taking a backseat to tablets and I can;t figure out why in the world they are so popular.

If you're making a joke, funny joke lol
If you're being serious, I've actually put some thought into it. The echo is a good idea, and I really like it for it being the first of it's kind, but the hardware just isn't up to par at all for what it is supposed to be doing. A first gen snapdragon trying to run two programs at the same time would underachieve quite a bit. The two screen thing isn't gonna work (for me and a lot of people anyways) until they get a dual core (or even quad core) processor powering it, when they can make the device thinner, and when they can eliminate they strip in between the two screens when its open. And it would also help if the phone wasn't a kyocera

The Echo has more letters in its name.

LOL I know I have been one, if not the biggest critic of the Echo, but I think if done right, there is potential to a dual screen phone. Most likely it's because of the hype that lead to the event that people are so hard on it, but it might be cool or innovative after all.

If the Echo were announced this time last year, people would be going ape**** over it. I guess in 2011, we're too busy looking for dual core superphones with 2000 mAh batteries.
To be honest, I really wanted to like the Echo. As soon as I heard it had a first-generation Snapdragon, though, most of my hopes went out of the window. If only HTC would give the concept a shot.

Urrgh, still kinda pissed off about the failed execution though. If it had something like dual 4 inch screens, I'd be much more interested. As it stands, 3.5 is still too big a downgrade from my Evo's screen, even if the Echo has two of them.

I thought it was awesome being able to watch porn on my phone. Now I can watch 2 pornos at the same time.
Obviously better.

I personally think the evo is big enough. Also running 2 screens on a 1ghz processor I think would slow or lag the device. Just my opinion.

Sarcasm is not easily conveyed in a forum post.
No but really..... they obviously had porn on their mind in the concept.

I know it's a joke, but:
- 2 screens = [approx.] 1/2 the battery life
- Very custom UI = much longer to put out major updates
- Kyocera

The fact they had to optimize several stock Android apps makes me think that there won't be much in the way of dual-screen support... Unless it's a REALLY well-polished app with next-to-no bugs on it, I don't see many developers trying to add support that could break a thousand more things with their apps.
Most apps will probably run similarly to how GBA games run on the DS and DS Lite (I know comparing the phone to the DS is getting overused, but it's the closest example I could think of). You'll probably be able to choose which screen you want used as the display, and that's the one that will be used for those apps without the support.

The echo's a fu*kin joke.
Nothing will truly take advantage of both screens and porting ROMs to it will be a hellish nightmare.

No. They will come as combos, one for each screen
