Hi All,
I have seen many posts in web about DUAL Sim (GSM/GSM) - China Mobiles.
When Searched I could see there are other Branded Windows Mobiles that support Dual Sim (GSM/GSM) at same time.
So is there any Dual Sim (GSM/GSM) Mobiles from HTC yet? or HTC is planing to jump to market after some time?
Some links:

I was just thinking if dual SIM can be installed in VOX and got several links of which I found the SIMORE interesting. Link below, Any practical experience from any user is appreciated. Finally whatever I have searched in net - all says the SIMs have to be cuut. Is there any way for using dual SIMs in Uncut mode in VOX.
Thanks.

Chances are less that HTC or Nokia or such companies will jump into dual sim wagon. Even Sony doesn't have a dual SIM phone. The basic reason is -
a) They are battery killer.
b) Its pretty useless, if you think seriousely, you can not use both sims calls simultaneousely - that is the other caller will get a engage tone.
c) If you look at the market, the only so called company to launch a dual sim phone is Samsung, but then Samsung phone's are notorious for their compatibility issues.
i think, Addicted2xda clearly pointed the issues with dual sim phones.
there is a Spice pocketpc2003 phone which supports dual sim, which i had seen at times of india direct to readers advertisement.
china phones
can we boot china phones with windows 6.1?
Actually you can buy a dual-sim Windows Mobile:

I have one and it's working perfectly.
Acer have bought Eten so they're about to sell the DX900 rebranded:

Well I think you are missing the point of Dual-Sim mobile phones - While I can agree with point a) (they clearly are battery killers), I have to disagree with others.
I actually think, they are pretty useful - as for what you mentioned - well, both sim cards are online at time and it's perfectly ok if the caller gets busy signal if you are calling using the other sim card isn't it? Or you are able to make two calls at once?
On the other hand, having two sim cars online, brings you the possibility to use two networks at time or two different tariffs - for example, many providers offer substantially cheaper calls within their networks, so this way you can call cheaply to much more friends. Other example might be that one provider might be offering well priced data plans, while the other offers free calls and text messages - with dual-sim phone, you can use them easily together in one phone...
All things considered, I think that there's great potential in dual-sim phones and it would be less than clever for manufacturers to overlook it...
I surely hope that some good, dual-sim, Windows Mobile phone would emerge soon, as it would be high in my list of potential replacements for my Vox (which is plagued with the annoying "Not available after GPRS/EDGE usage" problem)...

Very sorry to disagree, I think we have all seen a lot of pple juggling with a land phone and a mobile in office, you know - "Could you please hold on for a moment I will get back to you" and talking to the other phone, I think juggling with two phones is easier than putting one on hold (if that is possible, i have no idea) and switching back and forth between two calls. But then that is my idea. As far as Point 3 goes, I don't know about WM based devics, but all you have to do is search a little on the net for applications for Samsung's generic phones. This is unfortunately not the case with SE or Nokia handset .
Well, I just hope that my post didn't sound like "Hey, just my opinion is the right one" - I certainly didn't mean to say something like that...
I just wanted to give another view on dual-sim phones
There are like 2-3 WM phones from different manufacturers with dual-sim slots, but neither has hardware keyboard which is something I've grown used to
Hi guys
Does anyone know of any windows phone devices with dual sim? A google shows up the glofish dx900 but little more.
I am ideally looking for a phone that is 3g and supported on this forum if possible
Many thanks
Salv
As far as I know the Dx900 is the only 3G winmobile dual sim phone available. It's my phone right now, not developed inside her but there's a nice forum dedicated to it.
Hi all,
I currently own a Blackstone and its been pretty good to me over the past year or so. However I have two numbers and I have to carry two phones around with me. I have been looking into dual sim for a couple of days now and all i can seem to find is either dodgy Chinese copies or really old Samsungs.
In the USA a company called General Mobile have made an android phone with dual sim the kernel for it is below:

Do you think there are guys out there who would be able to get this to work on a HTC Hero, for instance, with a dual sim adaptor? Or does the phone have to have two antennae?
Are any of you guys aware of any dual sim smartphones coming out?
Thanks for your help, Serg

Dual SIM Android phones seem to be an excellent mechanism by which device vendors can suppress the urge of us nerds to install alternative ROMs on our phones.
If I use a single SIM phone I have a choice between a decent cheap Internet connection, and expensive calls to friends and familiy, or a crap Internet connection and cheap telephony.
So if I (could) install CyanogenMod, I would effectively have a single SIM phone and have to settle for one choice or the other - right?
Dual SIM phones are popular in China, India, Africa, and probably South America - half the world's population or more. If Android had full support for multiple SIMs perhaps device manufacturers would think twice before going it alone purely on the grounds of cost, not to mention subversion of the common OS.
Nice weather today!
I would suggest waiting for something like the S4 Duos to come out. It already appeared in Sammobile. After it is released, Cyanogenmod might add native support for dual sim phones to their source code, making it easier for other dual sim phones to support dual sim on their respective Cyanogenmod builds.

I used Cyanogenmod as an example. I think it is Android that needs to recognize people's justifyable need to use dual SIM phones, and make it core!
