Sprint's Big Announcement is Kyocera Echo? WTF?

Kyocera Echo? WHAT??

What the hell? David Blaine, wtf.... what does he have to do with the Kyocera? There's no magic there. The thing is a piece of shit. Sprint is once again the laughing stock in the headlines.

Look, after a BLANK CES with no real announcements and nothing to look forward to, while the other 3 announced several Tegra 2 devices, I was REALLY counting on Sprint to come through big with this announcement. Instead they deliver this?

If I was Dan Hesse, I would be fucking embarrassed.

Look it's not that the phone sucks (altho if the Zio is any benchmark, we can expect a non-functional touchscreen and underperforming hardware)....

It's that it is horridly underpowered by a last-gen processor that has trouble driving one WVGA screen on an EVO.

It's that it has a stupid bezel between the screens, and Kyocera couldn't use some kind of special lens glass on the LCDs to eliminate the bezel...

It's that it's nearly 3 years old thick! (18 mm).

It's that it has no 4G (not that Wimax is real anyway, trust me it exists only in myth)

It's that it has no front facing camera.

It's that it's a Kyocera....

Look. This device SHOULD have featured Tegra 2 or at least the new Snapdragon v2 with Adreno 205. It should have had a gig of ram. It should have had lens refraction and no bezel between screens.

Then, then I would not be laughing. What an embarrassing day to be a Sprint customer.



P.S. Why are the buttons on there twice again?
