Japan based Kyocera, in collaboration with Sprint, is going to roll out a dual-screen smartphone called Echo. The phone will be exclusively available on Sprint from April 17, 2011 and will cost $200 with a

two-year contract. Interested buyers can place their orders for the phone starting from March 26, 2011. On the launch day, the phone will be available at Sprint stores and online.

Each of the screens measure 3.5 inches. It folds down to a standard sized phone which means it can easily fit into your pocket.
