I’m with Andy, this was very poorly documented, why is this even on the first page of google search.

Wow, that actually sounds like a product I’d be interested in. Good job your very detailed, balanced, thoroughly researched and totally non-sarcastic comments included where I can get one, or the manufacturers or something useful like that.

I have this phone, and it’s a lot of fun. I have a work blackberry and a personal cell. I don’t like carrying both around at work, so I put my sim cards in this puppy and I’ve got one device for everything.

It’s a fun phone overall. Not the iphone, but I got mine brand new, with an extra battery and charging kit for $50 + ~$17 shipping.

I do agree with the usefulness of a phone that supports 2 SIM cards. In Jamaica where I’m from, I have a friend who has this phone. Here many persons have plans (usually pre-paid) with more than one mobile networks and therefore usually have 2 sims, 1 for each network. Normally this means having two different phones, or having a dual or tri-band phone in which you would have to keep turning on and off the phone to switch the chips. The iPhone copies therefore make it possible for you to receive and make calls on any network with the convenience of having just 1 single phone. Considering that the different networks use different bandwidths, the fact that this new phone is able to simultaneously support and automatically select between both is great!

Chip Chick,
I love my iPhone. I agree with you that the copies look weird. I know that dual SIM seems rather useless to you, but I think you lack the understanding of why it could be very useful in Asia. Sometimes people here have a business SIM and a freinds/family SIM–each SIM has a different phone number. That dual SIM feature would allow the phone be a 2-line cell phone. One personal and one business. Or it could also allow for 2 people to share one phone (common here). No pulling SIMs in and out. Nice.
In the USA, many cell phones use no SIM, and those that do, may use a calling plan. The kind of plan that comes with minutes and a bill that you pay each month. Like ATT and the iPhone. In Asia, most people use pre-paid load cards. When you buy the load card, the money (or load) goes on the SIM. Sometimes the load runs out and the phone becomes unusable until you find a place to buy another load card. When traveling, this can be tough. Sometime money is tight, so friends sometimes lend others their SIM (that has money or load on it) without giving up their cell phones. Any information that is stored on the phone is still usable and this allows the person to have a cell phone for a while until they can find or afford more load.
I wish I had that dual SIM slot on my iPhone now. I don’t like giving one cell number to everyone.

IMO the reason why so many chinese phone have 2 SIM card slot is because it’s common for asian people to have more than one SIM card.
