Hmmmmm off the bat one would agree but I wonder how apps would actually use the extra screen.

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.

THIS JUST IN: APPLE ADDS A SECOND 0.5 INCH SCREEN TO ITS IPHONE. PREORDERS ARE NUMBERING THE BILLIONS AS WE SPEAK.
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.

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.

Everyones moaning and crying about the nexus one being outdated by newer phones such as the incredible and the evo but technically they're all outdated since the htc scorpion is going to be "whats hot". Its really annoying how some of these people are so concerned about being outdated. Appreciate what you have and make the best out of it.

I think
The nexus is still the top phone, which is why I ordered one yesterday even with all the new phones out, this is my reasoning.
Even with a1.5 processor, our nexus can be clocked to a stable 1.2 at least, and with that speed I font believe a phone actually Needs more because my nexus already flys.
That's just my input on this outdated deal.

If you always MUST live on the "Bleeding Edge" with the best of everything, you will run out of blood and run out of money.
The way I see it, living always on the newest hottest thing out there are for the people with more money than brains.
Yes, I have a Nexus One, I bought it BRAND NEW, but my total out of pocket expense was $140.00, because I sold or traded stuff I had, but stuff I could sell to get the money I needed to get this phone.
So it would not be worth it for me to try and get the next new hot thing out there because I love my N1 and would be hard pressed to see something pass this one up.
I have played with TONS of new android phones that are not out yet (MyTouch Slide, what a joke) and NONE of them are anything that even gave me a slight twinge of wanting to jump off the N1 scene.

these threads are lame... and obviously started by people who don't even own a nexus one.

TotaL BS News...
From a Nexus owner perspective the future is not about slightly better hardware, but about adding real value to the OS.
As far as my Nexus will be updated to any future Android releases I´ll have the better phone out there...others will always have to wait for Google´s compasion.

If that’s what turns you on then fair enough. I maintain the best reason to get a Nexus One (if you accept you eventually have to plump for some phone instead of holding out forever) is that if Google does something cool it’ll pretty much definitely come to us first. And more than likely before everyone else.
But that’s just me, I’m more of a software fan.

If you are referring to me and this thread, you’ve not read it properly. Please see above.
If you are referring to people I criticised in my original post, then I think they probably do own a Nexus One, and become incredibly defensive about it. The people that don’t own one tend to just post saying how they are not going to get one and then their reasons. You can tell because the whole post usually smacks of someone trying to convince themselves of something.

I thought the Scorpion was rumored to be a tablet anyway.

BigDamHero said:
And yes for everyone debating if the Incredible or the Evo mean the Nexus is outdated you can all relax.
Because they are out of date now too – search for HTC Scorpion.
.... which I expect to also be superseded around about tea time.
It’s a point that’s been made in other threads – but you CANNOT keep up with new tech (especially phones). You’ll end up financially ruined if you try. So we can all stop going on about it now and just enjoy our Nexus Ones?

I said almost the polar opposite.
Anyway the HTC Scorpion, IF all the rumours are true will have a faster processor (1.5Ghz). Just search the name for references (as I said in my original post). Given how people are positively suicidal over a slightly better camera on the Incredible, I imagine this will not go down well. Its only a few rumours at the moment.
What I’m basically saying is the N1 is amazing and in no way obsolete just because something newer is out. There ALWAYS will be. So lets not live and die over newer phones that are going to come anyway. Thread after thread of it. Lets just bask in the glory that is the N1. Again I say see my previous posts.
I’m not trying to troll, just posting my viewpoint. What’s disturbing is you are potentially the second person to accuse me of exactly what I am criticising.

This whole thread is dumb; even with the Scorpion coming out HTC is working something to make the scorpion obsolete. Being obsolete doesn't make our Nexus any less awesome than it is.

Wow, they ALL totally missed your point. You were basically telling people to stop complaining about the Nexus One being obsolete. And they all jumped on you thinking you were the one complaining.

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.

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!

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.

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

you might not think it would be cool at first but think of the possibilities!
run an app on one screen and browse on another, or be typing out something on one and using the second to show reference material, or have one be the screen and other be a touch keyboard, dungeon defenders on one and IM on the other,

Dual-Screen Android Tablet Sprint’s “Big Announcement” for February 7th?
7 Comments 18 January 2011 by Dylan Bailey
Worth Reading?
+3 [3 votes]
Just last week Sprint sent out an email to the press inviting them to a special event where they will release an “Industry First.” The internet went crazy with rumors as to exactly what this industry first could be. Was it a 4G iPhone? Probably not, all Android sites were invited to the event. Now we may have a little bit more information as to exactly what it could be – a dual-screen Android tablet.
According to someone apparently close to the matter, the announcement will be a device and will feature the following:
It has large screens- think somewhere between the Evo and the Galaxy Tab.
It actually has dual screens- there’s a primary one but then also a secondary screen that flips up from the back, like on a hinge.
No word on what that second screen does, if it integrates with the primary screen to give you one big screen, or if you can run an app on each, or what. Sorry I couldn’t get more details.
No official word on if it’s voice-capable, or if it’s some kind of tablet/slate.
Also of note, HTC has been in the headlines supposedly preparing a 3D device. Could this be the device? Two screens for a 3D effect? If so, this would even tie in with the whole David Blaine theme of illusions, eye tricks, etc.
What do you think? Could this be a dual-screen tablet? Would a dual-screen tablet be a viable option in the competitive market? Let us know!

Well, this could be good news. If it is a dual screen, it could also mean that its dual core?
Hopefully its marketed as a phone, and not a tablet (has calling, texting, etc..)

Dualbook anyone?

That thing is e-ink, its not running Android, and finally is not a phone (I'm wishing here ).
Toshiba and Acer showed off dual screen devices at CES. Neither of them were classified as a tablet (both classified as dual screen laptops) , neither of them run Android, and neither of them have phone capabilities.
I've always dreamed of a phone that folded open (clamshell) with a continuous screen (using flexible AMOLED display) but we are a long way from that.

Ugh, not sure what to make of that. Will wait and hold off the hate until I hear more. Provided it's true.

Well Honda, I think we need to make at least as many as it takes to equal the hype behind this garbage of a phone, wouldn't you agree? Or approve?

So how much is the plan for the ds

At least they are posts in useless threads...

I would use a boost mobile phone before I ever buy a kyocera

dual touch screen sidekick wannabe ftw! go sprint! sell phones to the 10-16yr old demographic, make sure its cheap cause them kids don't get much for allowances

man id go back to a pager b4 id use that piece of ****. i will NEVER own any kyocera product

I'd go back to the Samsung Instinct... Even if it didn't get another update and constantly FC'd Opera Mini I'd still go back.
Could this be the "industry-first" smartphone nobody wants? As far as I can tell anyone who gets this will not be able to do much after rooting besides uninstalling the Sprint bloat. Unless they want one tiny screen to use for ROMs =/

If they put a Nintendo DS cartridge slot and buttons on there, it might have been something worth while. At least a competitor to the playstation phone.

Any guess on how long the it will last on 1 battery?
It has to be bad, seeing they are including 2 when buying the phone, er ds.

Imagine how fat it'll be with a 3000 mAh extended battery on that bad boy.

EPIC FIAL....what a huge disappointment!
Sprint has to get their act together soon and come up with something amazing to keep me from jumping ship.they can't just ride the Evo wave forever!

Epic indeed.

How many "firsts" and other "huge next things" are we going to see before we see the REAL huge next thing? Obviously nothing is worth leaving an EVO until dual core comes out. They really should have waited to hype something until a dual core phone came out. Now it will make such a release underwhelming. Shame on you Sprint.
