Dual SIM cards, not so fresh of an idea, dual SIM cards from a major manufacturer, and not an Asia-only handset, that’s a new idea. This time its coming from Samsung and is headed for mainstream Europe.
Why on earth would someone want a phone with two separate SIM cards? Several reasons, lets say you travel a lot, you could have one for local usage, and then one for travel, or one for work, and one for personal use, or you could be some sort of spy and need more than one phone number.
Who cares why you need a phone with two SIM cards, the fact is you can have it now. Both cards can work at the same time for calls, messages, mobile browsing, email, and carrier specific services, you just have to select which card you want to use at the time.
Samsung D880 DuoS slider can work with two SIM cards from different operators or support two phone numbers from the same operator.
Both cards in Samsung SGH-D880 can work simultaneously to make and receive calls, send/receive SMS messages. The user also can easily select which card to use for mobile browsing, e-mail and other multimedia services. Your WAP/MMS/E-mail profiles are switched automatically when different card is selected.
When you receive the call, the name of the card that for the call flashes on screen and each SIM card can be assigned it’s own ringtone. In case of missed calls, the relevant card is also indicated.
Except for the dual SIM cards, Samsung DuoS D880 is your ordinary 2.5G Samsung slider with:
- GSM 900/1800/1900 EDGE connectivity
- 2.3″ QVGA Display
- 3.2 Megapixel camera with autofocus
- FM Radio
- Bluetooth 2.0 A2DP, USB 2.0
- 1200 mAh battery
- Dimensions: 104×51x18.9
The only thing not to like, is the price - Samsung D880 DuoS is expected to cost around $700. But when you consider that you won’t have to carry two different phones in your pocket, the price tag doesn’t look so bad anymore.
Samsung DuoS is expected to go on sale in November.
