Dual-SIM card phones are nothing new. Just that back then they never connected faster than GSM. To redress this, Singaporean Verzio has come up with their own which connects both SIMs to 3G. And this is the first in the world.

Previous other models could only standby in one or the other mode, meaning you’d have to choose between the SIMs to utilize. Whereas this phone, called Duplii, permits you to on both SIMs and in two modes at the same time. What’s more, you can even switch from one mode to the other, even for calls from both SIMs.

The Duplii possesses all the usual features you’d find in most any other models: 2MP camera, card slot and music and video player. The display is TFT and QVGA resolution, and big enough at 2.2 inches.

For users running only GPRS or EDGE, Verzio offers their Twinn, also dual-SIM. And this has also garnered the honour as the world’s first. Its display is also 2.2 inches but only QCIF TFT, and the camera resolution is lower, at 1.3 MP.
