Android: Dual SIM Card Capable Phone?
ByGoogle Android has already created a bundle firsts, coming onto the scene as a specially designed mobile operating system. And now it looks s though it may set another first, by being included on the General Mobile DSTL1.
The new handset, which is still largely speculative to outsiders, will be unveiled in Barcelona next month at the Mobile World Congress. With two SIM cards, a phone is able to maintain two completely different phone numbers, something which could be very useful for people who spend a lot of time on the road. One SIM could be used for business, and the other could be used for personal uses.
There is some concern over whether the current design of the DSTL1 is suitable for Android, since it lacks the five button configuration expected by the OS. This could mean that the handset design may change, or we may see a patch for the Android OS which offers greater compatibility.
In other regards, the phone is pretty average. It has Wi-Fi and GSM/EDGE support, and is fronted with a 3 inch display. The 5 megapixel camera is actually manufactured by sharp, and the total weight is less than 5 ounces.
