Multi-SIM phones

I understand that Sony Ericsson has produced a phone which is capable
of having 2 SIMs from different networks. Where can I get details of
this? Are there any other phones with this facility?

I have one of these

http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=164807

Works fine - both SIMs can be active at the same time for SMS in and out and
voice calls in and out - no need to reboot the phone to get the other SIM to
work.

Search eBay for 'dual sim'. After enough time spent looking, you'll learn
to spot which ones do and which ones don't :-)

Thats expensive. £421 for a phone.

I don't think so. Verzio Duplii is a high-end 3G dualsim phone (3G is the
keyword here!). Samsungs D880 does not support 3G and it is almost as
expensive as Verzio Duplii.....Verzio Duplii is based on a Qualcomm/Philips
platform. That makes it quite unique compared to other dualsim phones which
are often based on MTK's unstable, low-end platforms. Furthermore, the phone
has 2 integrated RF modules - one for each SIM card. That alone makes Verzio
Duplii stand out if you ask me.

On the other hand, can one expect half the normal battery life?

The phone comes with a replacement battery. Higher capacity batteries only
yields 10% longer battery life. So I prefer the 2 batteries.

The standby/talk time is acceptable for a phone with dualsim
feature....Personally, I have been using the phone now for 3 days without
recharging...But I don't video chat that much, so maybe that's why...
