zorro1 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Anyone recently purchased the Samsung dual sim card mobile phone? Is it any good and where did you buy it and how much ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somtamnication Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 They are at about 13,000, with a 1 gig memory card. Dtac is also now advertising them. I will buy one in about a month. Waiting for any software bugs to be fixed first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorro1 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 just noticed they available on ebay via Hongkokg $335 aud plus $70 SHIP. 3 megapix with a flash sounds pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter991 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Unless it has to be a Samsung mobile phone, you can pick up good dual-SIM phones at Pantip and MBK for around 5800 baht. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Thanks Peter but its the combo of 3 mpx with flash that does it for me + duo sim. Do you know of any others with the same specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter with the cheaper dual-sim phones you have to select one sim when you turn on the phone, while with the samsung d880 you can access network services of both sims without having to reboot the phone...

peter991 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have a dual-SAIM phone very similar to this one. It's dual-SIM - so I can make an receive calls on either SIM card, without rebooting; has Thai language display in addition to English, touch-screen, Bluetooth, WAP, plays MP3/MP4 and videos etc. Great phone - only 5300 baht.

zorro1 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) got it at the samsung shop in Central world.By the way there is NO FLASH on the camera and its not 3G. ha ha your right mine just arrived and NO FLASH its a mirror and still effective with a little light like in a go go bar or your bedroom pm me for sample pics... Im joking! its a brilliant phone if you really need 2 sim cards for biz like I do. A bit bulky (has 2 aerials) but way better than lugging around 2 phones Edited March 6, 2008 by zorro1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palace Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) i bought one exactly a month ago. price is B12,900 at the Samsung showroom in Paragon. got everything i need from a dual sim phone. lets you receive SMS and Call from both SIM in realtime. but you can make outgoing SMS and calls only from one sim. you have to reboot to activate the other sim. rebooting takes around 50 secs. i maintain an AIS sim and a Philippines sim for my inbound SMS from family and friends back home so this works just perfect for me. only drawback for me is some of the menu progressions were not very "ergonomic". take for example writing a simple text. in most Nokia and Ericsson units, it's as simple as Write Message + Select Recipient + Send. In the D880, there's an extra two step - to check recipient number and save. another minor irritation is though it lets you save outgoing SMS in the "sent items" box, you have to actually decide wether to do it, everytime you write an SMS. kind of inefficient. why not have a setting that lets you default if you want to save outgoing sms. but overall, this is a good phone. the dual sim capability is what made me decide to buy this. if there's a better "reliable" dual sim brand (ie Nokia or Ericsson or Motorola) , i'd upgrade in a heartbeat.

dekka007 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) I agree with Palace. The dual sim option is a god send for me. However the samsung software and ergonomics is a disaster. Makes you realise how well Nokia have got the software done, it just works well. I too will change a dual sim nokia as soon as it becomes available.
