    Question Dual Sim phones

    I've been asked to buy one. Just a normal phone (i.e. without touch screen), but it needs to take dual sim cards.

    I know there are a bunch of china brand phones like this, but I want one that will last more than six months.

    Anyone know of a decent brand (be it international or China brand) that would suit this requirement?

    Thanks!

    Some china brand phones actually last long suprisingly. Used to have one with dual sim and it lasted for 2 years because i lost it. Prolly would have gone longer.

    does nokia have a dual sim phone c1 and c2 with keypad for budget/low mid range market

    samsung and lg has 2 sim phones, why settle for chinese no branders/shanzhan phones, IMO, maybe only lenovo has the best brand for phones in china

    Dual Sim Phone - Mobile Phone | SAMSUNG

    Not sure which ones are available in HK, but I have seen Samsung dual sim phones in Apliu Street, Sham Shui Po.

    Thanks guys. Seems like Samsung and Nokia may be an option.

    Will take a gander around Wanchai this weekend to see if I can find any.

    Many of the Shanzhai phones from Shenzhen also have dual sim. The Taiwanese chipset that made all these Shanzhai phones possible comes with dual sim function AFAIK.
