T-Mobile plans to sell the LG Doubleplay, a
phone featuring two touchscreens, on October 26 for the unconfirmed price of
$150 with a two-year contract, offering an innovative Android model that may
help the carrier boost sagging sales. The DoublePlay's main display is a
standard 3.5-inch touchscreen. The second, two-inch touchscreen is in the
middle of a slide-out, split Qwerty keyboard. The second screen can duplicate
the main display, show an alternate view of what's on the larger screen, or be
used to view something completely separate.

The second screen works as a touch screen that users can
“Swype (News -Alert)” on
should they not want to type things out. LG is calling this
the “ultimate multitasking handset” and it appears that a phone like this will
take some getting used to. The phone also has some very nice and slightly
more traditional features, such as running Android 2.3 and a Snapdragon
processor.
The larger screen is a standard 3.5-inches and includes a
5-megapixel camera with the ability to record in 720P resolution. The
second smaller screen measures out at 2-inches.
T-Mobile did not announce a release date or pricing, though there are reports that it will launch on November 2
for $149.99.
