Kyocera Echo review -- Engadget

I defended this phone when all the hating was going on. Whether this phone is awesome or sucks it represents one of the main reasons Android is great, choices in hardware.

Personally, I'm excited by it, and think it might be a match for my rather hyperactive needs. I am pretty much done with Sense, so I'm going to play with this and the Nexus before deciding.

(I would say it's a no-brainer, as this looks really fun, except that Wifey has an EVO, and older boy will be getting mine, while younger son has his eye on the Nexus or EVO 3D. I'd be the only one with no video chat capabilities. Also, don't like the fact that you can't reply to a text/email without stopping a video on the other screen.)

I've preordered one, but I'm not quite sold on it yet. I might give it a spin and see whether I like it more than my epic 4g, but I might just let sprint sell it to someone else if the reviews stay as lackluster as they have been.

I'm in. I've preordered it as well, its perfect for my needs.

Well this isn't fun. Now I'll have to decide between the Echo and the EVO 3D. SPRINT! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE SUCH GOOD PHONES! *shakes fist*

PS: Make sure to check that Laptop Mag review. It picks up a few details Engadget missed, like browsing two webpages at once.

Wait until the evo 3D comes out, get the echo, try it for a few days and if you like it keep it, if you don't then get the evo 3D.

Here is the spec by spec comparison:

EVO 3D vs. Nexus 4G, Atrix, Thunderbolt, iPhone 4, Veer, Pre 3, and Echo

Watch the video of the Echo being opened and closed. Will a floating articulated hinge loosen or fatigue over the two years you will have it? Does it make sense to get the $7 a month insurance?
