And good for people who get their calls and data from separate plans or even providers, to avoid getting reamed on charges.
i love their product description :D
"The big 3.14" full touch screen"
"Slimness of only 11.95mm"
In the specs it says "Colour screen- No"
I would rather buy 2 defy+ from Telstra ($99 each), unlock them and wrap them with a rubber band :P
Anyway - thanks OP, seems like a good price for dual sim android phone
Two problems with this phone
- Still on 2.3 Gingerbread. Most probably will never be updated.
- Its a dual standby phone.
I would be more inclined to get the Sony Xperia Tipo Dual http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_tipo_dual-4832.php which is a dual active SIM phone with 4.0 ICS and can be had for around $149
yes, looks like that would be a better option:
http://www.becextech.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?product…
$104.00
becextech never show the delivery price. The delivery is normally around $70
They always make their phones cheaper but they have ridiculous shipping prices to make up for it
Express Courier/Express Post(2 - 4 Working Days to metro area *) (Australia Wide Delivery: ) AU$74.95 :(
According to the manuals for these phones, they both have active standby for both SIMs at the same time, and they both disable one SIM when the other is hosting an active call. The manual for the Galaxy Y explicitly states that calls can still be received through a SIM even when you're using the other for data (with the caveat that the incoming call must be on a 2.5G or 3G network), but I can't find anything about this in the Xperia Tipo manual.
apparently the tipo is not active dual sim
I can vouch for the Xperia Tipo Dual.
Had it for about a month. Brilliant phone, the only downside is the screen is on the small size. If the Tipo had a 4"+ screen it would amazing. As it is, IMHO it's the best dual SIM on the Aussie market at the moment.
saved $20
VERY low-res screen. - 240x320.
How is it better than the $99 prepaids like HTC explorer?this one is a dual-sim, the explorer isn't
Buy two of them :-)
BUYER BEWARE - the Galaxy S Duos does NOT support 850Mhz HSPA. So no NextG network for you!
In fact hardly any dual SIM phones support 850MHz support HSPA due to dual SIM mainly being popular in Asian countries where the 850MHz HSPA is not common (as they are usually highly urbanised small countries).
thats a different phone
Not a very impressive phone to be honest.
If it's anything like my normal galaxy y I would avoid it like the plague. It's such a terrible phone you would be better off spending the extra money on something better and save your sanity.
Also good for people who live a separate life ;)
