Hi,

I want to purchase a mobile phone, having the following features:

Required:
---------

1. Dual SIM (GSM+CDMA or GSM+GSM)

2. Quad band (850/900/1800/1900)

3. EDGE/GPRS


Desirable:
---------

1. Decent camera

2. Speaker phone

Note:

1. I prefer NOKIA sets, but not sure whether it has models with the above features. Other brands are definitely welcome.

2. Price should be as low as possible.


Please suggest a model satisfying the above criteria.

Thanks,
Sumit

or wait for some months, Moto already made a phone with dual sim name MOto Ming A1800

TataIndicom's Samsung Duo can take a GSM + CDMA sim but cannot have both connections active at the same time.

The best I could see with 2 GSM Sims working together in a decent package is the Samsung D880. Check out the review here. *www.gsmarena.com/samsung_d880_duos-review-240.php

There is spice D80, I had it for like two months but I lost it. Cant say if it was quad band or not nor if it had EDGE. GPRS was surely present.
