Hey friends, we’re coming to you live from New York at Sprint’s event and the company is promising an “industry first.” We’ve already uncovered that the dual-screen Android Kyocera Echo will be unveiled but with magic man David Blaine in the house, you never know what else Sprint could reveal.

Sprint is hosting an event tonight in New York City with moderate hype – we’ll apparently be seeing something there that is considered an “industry first.” Right now, we’re hearing that the Kyocera Echo, a dual-screen Android smartphone, will be unveiled at the event. The Echo will have two 3.5-inch touchscreen displays, hence its name,…
In a bit of news that doesn’t surprise me much, a new study from BillShrink finds that a quarter million U.S. users are paying too much for their wireless service because they miscalculate how much voice, data and text messages they use per month. The report found that people waste about $336 per year. Part…
Sprint is planning an Android handset to combat Verizon’s Droid Pro, by the looks of it. We don’t know much about this Samsung handset, but it’s got the full physical QWERTY keyboard and a portrait-oriented touchscreen.

Over at SDK developers, we get a few glimpses of Android 2.2 Froyo running on…
Verizon reported via Twitter that there is a major BIS outage affecting Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T, and all other carriers using RIM’s non-corporate email service in the U.S. There was no reason given for the outage but the service is expected to be back online by Noon ET. During this time, customers using BlackBerry Internet Service…
Oh, look – some logos. It’s for the HTC Arrive and the Kyocera Echo, both said to be heading to Sprint. No, no handset details. Sorry, no images, either. Just logos. At least they’re pretty, right? The HTC Arrive is said to be a Windows Phone 7 handset, which would make it one of the…
A few days ago we reported the changes to Sprint’s Premier plans and options. The information came from a forum where a user spoke with Sprint customer service, and details of the plans were outlined. Sprint is now making it official and says that the changes will take effect starting April 1. Here are the…
