One obvious advantage of the dual SIM phone is that you can separate your business and personal calls completely. Another advantage is that you can get the benefits of two different mobile networks for your calls. One network might give you better rates for international mobile services while another gives better coverage for your local calls.

The 2 SIM cards gives you much more flexibility in choosing among all the mobile phone service offers, which can save you a good deal of money.

“It seems the masses have abandoned the the need to take blurry prototype shots, as the pics we’re seeing of the Paris are all crystal clear. The device is touted — by a forum user, so take it with a healthy dose of salt — as having A-GPS,a 5 megapixel camera, 2.6-inch display, Google Maps, rocker QWERTY keypad, and a very vanilla design aesthetic. The forum user who took the pics, gliatiotis, also chimes in that he was pretty humdrum about the handset, with the major complaint being that the hardware isn’t advancing in this line. The drums seem to be beating louder each day on this phone, so we’re hoping release to the masses might be just around the corner. Follow the link to get at a pile more pics.” Engadget Mobile
