Hong Kong based handset manufacturer, HKC has launched what it says is the first smartphone based on the Windows Mobile Professional OS which can work either as dual network (GSM + CDMA) or Dual Standby (two GSM SIM cards) capabilities.
The W1000 is equipped with one GSM and one CDMA SIM slot, making phone calls and data communication on different networks using one phone a possibility..
The G1000 on the other hand has two built-in GSM SIM slots, which allows voice and data communications between two different GSM networks concurrently. The user who needs to carry two phone numbers can simply insert the two GSM SIM cards into the G1000. The company says that this is ideal for frequent or seasoned travelers to maintain connectivity with his or her home country number and at the same time take advantage of the relatively cheap local charges by using an additional SIM card from the local mobile network.
Other key features include:
The HKC 1000 series is the first two members of the HKC family and is now available for sale.
