LG DoublePlay Overview
The LG DoublePlay is a T-Mobile device that has dual-screens - a primary 3.5 inch display and a smaller one sitting beneath that. The display is revealed by sliding the top portion of the device up. On each side of the secondary display are keys to make up a split hardware QWERTY keyboard. The device also has a 5 megapixel 720p HD camera with flash. Unfortunately for software, we're only getting Android 2.2 with LG's UI.
Early press shots suggested the display would be used for launching apps when inside another but T-Mobile has described it as having more functionality than that, saying you'd be able to keep up with your social life without having to leave a game, a website or any other application.

LG DoublePlay Reviews
The Verge The first time I laid eyes on the LG DoublePlay, I thought I was in love. I'm a former T-Mobile Sidekick / Danger Hiptop fan, you see, and both physical keyboards and rapid multitasking are near and dear to my heart.
Engadget LG has created the DoublePlay, giving users both a hint of the Echo's dual screen experience along with a split physical keyboard for tactile typing.
Phone Dog I've heard a lot of people complain that all smartphones these days look alike. 'They're all the same', they say. 'Just a flat square panel with a touchscreen on it.' Well, here's something different for you: a phone with two screens, one of them built into the also-included physical QWERTY.
Tech Radar With the LG DoublePlay, a few radical hardware changes translate to an unusual, and sometimes more productive, experience.
PCMag The LG DoublePlay is built around an interesting concept, but T-Mobile users can easily find a better phone with a QWERTY keyboard.
Laptop Mag The LG DoublePlay is a unique dual-screen Android phone with a full keyboard, but its fuzzy main screen and split keyboard are turn-offs.
Phone Arena Well, the LG Doubleplay is one of those smartphones that attempts to provide a practical experience in typing messages with its split-style QWERTY keyboard.
Talk Android LG is looking to reinvent multitasking and texting with the Doubleplay, available on T-Mobile. This is a mid-level phone priced at $99 with average specs. If you are looking for something unique this might be the phone for you.
