Nokia to bring Dual SIM phones in 2010

nokia dual sim

At the Nokia Capital Markets Day yesterday Nokia made a lot of forward looking statements including some indications of their device portfolio in 2010.

UPDATE: This is finally a reality ! Nokia has finally launched Dual Phones

C1 & C2

Nokia made it’s intentions to remain the leader in the handset market and that it’s not taking the competition lightly. Some good news for all of you who are craving for that Nokia Dual  SIM mobile phone. It might actually become a reality in 2010.

Kai Oistamo, Executive VP of Devices  made a statement about S40 devices

Next year you can expect other additions in Series 40, you  can expect  expect adding qwerty , dual-sim and touch UI  to Series40 phones.

I’m sure such a phone would sell like hot cakes in India. The main reason of high sales of Chinese Mobile phones also some regional players like Fly , Orion is due to the Dual SIM feature.

With such a move , Nokia is seriously changing its approach. But we hope that their Time to Market for devices improves in 2010.

The main limitation when it comes with DUAL SIM phones are power consumption and signal strength. If phone cloners in Shenzen can get it right ?  Nokia can do it in a much better may. Stay away from those fake NokLa phones in the market till 2010

    All of my phones for 9 years from 1998 are Nokia, before I switch to being a fanboy. Will someone tell Nokia to please replace their venerable antiquated typeface that probably have existed since the 5110 single-band phone and still in use in the N97.

    Apple does not allow customization with iPhones. While Nokia allows customization, but surprisingly leaves typefaces or fonts behind.

    I am a user of Nokia phones and find them very easy to use and get along with, specially Nokia N and E series. They are wonderful.I am a proud owner of ten Nokia handsets because after purchasing a handset I never sell it.
    I am feeling very happy to hear that Nokia is planning to launch dual sim handsets.
    I wish Nokia goodluck and hope that they will bring good and sturdy dual sim handsets and once again become the no 1 in the dual sim handset market.
    Thanks Fonearena for giving me this news.

    Feels kinda weird being in India and looking at american telephony industry doesn’t it ? We can change providers as per our wish and can have multiple SIMs in one phone while the poor american customer is contract bound to use a locked phone with only one provider for atleast half an year ? And people here are complaining that the iPhone comes at an inflated price in India….

  • SURYA

    It is a great news. I waited for long time, then purchase one Spice, where 3rd party software is not installable, then bought Samsung-5212 dual sim, now using. it is good but 3rd party software installation is max upto 4 MB. This is the real problem for this phone. I have used Nokia 6600/6630, where 3rd party software installation has no limit. So definitely I Will go for Nokia dual sim phone.

  • Dee

    I really want a Nokia dual sim phone, simply because I still have a sim on a very old package – Orange Out Here – which gives me five free texts a day, for life. And I like my number on this phone. But often, I need a few more, so I have another phone which has the Dolphin package on it. If only we could combine packages, I wouldn’t need a dual sim phone, but alas, we can’t, and I don’t want to be carrying two phones around forever.
