The mobile phones have become a must-have gadget in the last few years. With a mobile phone, one can be reached and communicated where ever he is. The mobile phones have now become more of a multimedia device which has the advance telephony features as a necessary part of it. With the evolution of mobile phones, the people have started using multiple numbers that they can be reached at. These people always need dual sim phones to keep all their numbers active at one time.

The dual sim technology has taken its course over the years and it’s not just a matter of one night. Earlier there were sim holders which was a decent beginning. These dual sim holders would fit behind the battery of the mobile phone and would hold two sims at a time. Though these were not active at the same time, but you were able to use the other sim by restarting your mobile phone.

The dual sim holder was though a good beginning but it was not the right solution that fully fulfilled the needs and it was technically improper and more inconvenient.

Then the next step was dual sim adapter which was not a lot different from the sim holder but it provided the necessary evolution. The sim adapter works the same way as the dual sim holder works but the difference is that the adapter is be placed in the sim’s place holding two sims within the sim jacket.

This technology again had the negative and inconvenient side to it as it was not automatic and the sims were not active at the same time. Just like the sim holder, you have to turn the phone off and then back on to activate the other sim.

With these advancements, some of the developers thought of a more solution. That was to put two mobile phones in one casing or holding. This idea got developed and resulted in the dual sim phone which would share the same LCD but keep the two sims active at the same time.

Today dual sim phones are very popular with the youth specially. These phones give you the option to keep two numbers active at the same time and you can even make and receive calls from two different networks at the same time. The sad news is that there are only a few manufacturers who have taken this to big stage and the more reliable companies have not yet launched their campaigns.

Mobile Phones

A few years ago, the craze was for the iPod and the MP3 player, portable digital devices which replaced the portable CD player. At around the same time, mobile phone manufacturers must have started thinking “There’s a new market here”…thus the birth of the MP3 Mobile Phone.

Now, just about every notable manufacturer has made at least one of these phones. They combine the usefulness of the mobile phone with the entertainment value of the mp3 player, and most also have the integrated camera and video recorder which is standard on most handsets now.

Most MP3 phones tend to be of the ‘slider’ variety, with a couple of exceptions such as the Ericsson W950i and W960i, and the Nokia 5310. The younger sister to the 5310, the Nokia 5610 has not only the slider design, but also has a sliding bar on the front of the phone so you can easily switch between phone, MP3 player and radio. On most MP3 phones the music will cut out during a phone call automatically, and you can have the player on while doing other things on the phone like browsing the web or sending messages.

Most handsets come with minimum storage, depending on the model, but memory cards are quite cheap to buy. The MicroSD card starts at just over
