My wonderful employer has been kind enough to send me another phone to review so rather than continuing to create totally new blogs for every new device I have consolidated things here. Let's hope I get to keep sharing the Android love thanks to Sprint!
Thanks for reading my device reviews!

Kyocera Echo Camera
Right fully so most of the chatter about the Echo has been around the unique tablet design and the ability to Simul-Task apps. But what about other features that our customers think are important?
I am phone multi-media guy and love taking pictures on my device to send right to twitter and facebook. Yes indeed I am one of “those” people that seem to always be sharing pics and videos.
So how is the Echo as a camera?
I will have to give the 5MP camera and the 720HD video a thumbs up! This is even in comparison to my previous experience with my 8MP EVO. Of course using these features just eat up the battery but this is no problem thanks to the extra battery that is included with the device. These extra batteries can be very expensive and any conversation about the $199 price point of the Echo should include a talk about the value of this extra. Heck, thanks to the unique charger I was able to use my Echo extra battery the other day to charge my dead I-Pod. Thanks ECHO!
Anyway, here is a moment of Zen video for you of a beautiful Oklahoma wheat field along with a couple of pictures taken with the Echo. Tell me what you think.

Your Product Ambassador goes animated
I always enjoy talking about being a Sprint employee to people I meet. Lately this has been especially fun as I have had the opportunity to tell people about my role as a Sprint Product Ambassador for the Kyocera Echo.
I was apprehensive about this product at first but now that I have used it for a couple of weeks it is starting to grow on me. More importantly, a buzz seems to be growing with the public.
As an example, I was in Best Buy Friday night and took the opportunity to demo the phone to the sales people in the device area. Soon there was a small crowd of employees and a few Best Buy customers around me asking questions and throwing out positive comments about the Echo. Over the weekend I had several friends approach me and say they had heard I had the Echo and wanted to see it.
Will the phone be a top seller? My guess is no. What I am discovering however is that the phone is creating a positive buzz and is boosting Sprint’s image with the consumer. That has got to be great news.
The last couple of weeks I had a video demo of the device. This week I decided to go animated with a little recreation of what it is like to be a Product Ambassador for Sprint. The animation tool is free too!
