Each screen is a 3.5-inch WVGA touch display. The two screens are connected via a pivot hinge and can be used separately or combined together for a larger 4.7-inch display.
The screens operate in four separate modes: standard, which is your regular one-screen smartphone mode, tablet mode, which takes advantage of the larger combined screen, simultasking, which lets you use each screen individually for separate tasks, and optimized, which runs one task on both screens but uses one screen for the main view and the second screen as a complementary screen for controls and other aspects of the app.
Sprint will launch the Android 2.2 phone this spring for $199.99 with two-year contract. Since two screens = big battery drain, they’ll include a second, swappable battery in the box. As was rumored, it will be 3G, not 4G.
So whadda ya think? Do tablet/smartphone hybrids like this make sense, or are they just giving you the worst of both worlds (i.e. small, segmented tablet and big, heavy smartphone)? [via CNET
