Hey!
I'd like to buy a dual sim windows phone device, but I am not really familiar with these devices. Could you suggest me a good, at least mid range WP device which has dual sim capabilities? Thanks!

First is the dual sim mandatory because the best windows phone in my opinion now is the htc one m8 windows. Look into android it has more variety and better choices for phones.

Yes, it is mandatory sadly. I will.
730 dual-SIM
640 or 640 XL dual-SIM (comes in both LTE and non-LTE models)
630 dual SIM if you're on a tight budget.

Does anyone know where I can buy the Chinese htc one and use it here in USA? I really need that sd card slot since I heard that Chinese htc one variants has it. Will the Chinese htc one work with the at&t lte network ?

The SD card and dual SIM came at the cost of LTE support and WCDMA support. It is a dual band TD-SCDMA phone and a tri-band WCDMA phone on SIM 1 only. SIM 2 is GSM only.
Edit:http://www.htc.com/cn/smartphones/htc-one/#specs
It will only work on AT&T 3G/HSPA+. Won't work on TMOUS HSPA+ unless you're in a refarm area. No LTE.
i think it doesnt support lte.....only wcdma or tdcmda

You'll probably end up paying way more than just getting the 64gb one from att... Is 64gb really not enough for you? Do you really need the SD card slot that bad? What exactly do you need more than 64gb for, if you don't mind me asking? Really curious..
For Sale Already
Its already for sale!
Found it on a chinese market site, but no word from the carriers yet.
http://www.tmall.com/go/act/sale/ht..._id=&am_id=1301054773632ffda8b5&cm_id=&pm_id=
Taobao and Tmall are relatively safe online shopping sites. Think of it as the Amazon of China.
Its selling for 4888CNY, not sure about shipping but unless you think its worth it... its your decision though.
Edit: 4888CNY=792USD
Developer Edition(64GB)=650$
Think again whether its worth it.

Looks like it's only the pre-order page atm. Tmall is offering it from all 3 chinese carriers (china mobile, china unicom, china telecom).
One thing you need to be aware of is that the chinese version claim to be a metal body phone,but its back cover is acutally plastic. You can easliy pick out the white unpainted plastic spot on the top in the first picture. So,that's a trade off and it doesn't support LTE, dual sim is pretty much a meh feature to me but chinese people seems to love the idea since it is now a standard for any manufacturers in the chinese market. Oh and it's plauged with phone company apps you don't really need and their cheesy boot screen.....
PS.Taobao is more like e-bay's counter part. JD.com or newegg.com.cn is the chinese amazon and amazon does have its chinese version too at amazon.cn
Wouldn't be compatible with international roms.

Dual SIM on all Chinese variants.
Selling price for unlocked is 4880 before negotiation.
Not sure about China telecom/unicom/mobile prices from their stores.
You can buy from any China Telecom store for their variant. If you want the unlocked variant, you can buy it from any HTC retailer... Which is everywhere in China.

Do not buy HTC one 802D. Sim no. 1 is locked by China Telecom. Until now I still can not find the way to unlock it. So do not waste your money and time.

I'm going to give Windows Phone a try, I found couple good condition Nokia Lumia 820 810 from tmobile and att but they have banned IMEI. I think I'll buy one to discover WinPhone.
My question is since the phone is blocked, does windows phones require to activate the first time you set up ? My assume is only online activate with microsoft but not carriers so I can use without sim card.

No, genuine wp devices won't need to activate, you may get a no Sim nag screen, but you can sync up to live with wifi, so yeah should be OK to test, only thing I'd say is that the imei is banned for a reason, if its stolen then you buying it is about as ****ty as stealing it yourself...supply an demand my friend, if folk wouldn't buy them other folk wouldn't nick them

You could look into this one http://www.magic-sim.com/product/id...MICRO_SIM_DUAL_SIM_ADAPTER_for_HTC_ONE_S.html it says for the HTC One S but im sure it'll work, contact them first to make sure.

That's so cool. It's a bit clunky, but a very clever solution. Now if only the phone's radio could be connected to two mobile networks at once. . .
can you receive calls to both sim cards ???
Buy the Chinese model HTC One. It has dual simple card slots built in and sd card storage. But you lose the unibody construction

Hi guys really like to buy a MotoX( actually I have an Xperia S I like a lot but the vanilla android and the smoothness of the MotoX take my heart) but I'm from Mexico.
Since September 19 it's now selling telcel the MotoX but here is the problem it's only the 16Gb version and only can choose white or black for the expansive quantity of $855 US ($11000 Mexican pesos)
The price of the Samsung galaxy S4 quad core is $933US(12000 Mexican pesos) just for make a comparison.
Does it worth too much for buy it in so expansive price? Or shouI'd I get it by other means( like from US and then unblock the network) but Customised?
And no buying it in contract it's worse the price of the phone quadruplicates :-S you have to pay 2 years $78 US and pay $375 more for the cellphone and like I said it's 16Gb black or white :-S

Definitely Moto X all the way, unless you want swappable battery and Micro SD card expansion

Best bet is to get the dev edition. It's carrier unlocked and comes in 32gb. Just make sure you get the correct variant for the carrier you use down in Mexico... ie. Gsm or cdma.

I know it's really early but i figured i'd put it out there.
Anybody know if the US Carrier's will allow and support Dual-Sim in their versions? I ask because i was hoping to use ATT's version to keep their Wifi Calling, HDVoice, etc as well as use Dual-Sim so i don't have to carry two phones around for work and personal.
I’m curious too.

I also dont get why F### they cant launch all the colours here either...

Are you saying even the carrier unlocked us one won't have dual-sim... Damn
The color release is marketing and demand...they want to control the initial release. Sectioning colors to regions makes it easier to release...shortly after the high-demand release, we will probably see the other colors introduced. They have done this before with other devices. Sucks for those wanting to take advantage of pre-order deals. I wanted the deep blue but since it's going in a case, I got black and bought blue cases.
They don't sell dual in the US due to carrier pressure. Although slightly less so than a few years ago the vast majority of US phone sales are through carriers giving them the power to dictate product to some extent.
The U.S. Samsung web site is allowing pre-order of an unlocked variant; SM-N950UZVAXAA. The Best Buy web site shows this as a Snapdragon, dual-sim:

A chat with Samsung online states no dual Sim for US unlocked phones.
Info: Thank you for choosing to chat with us. An agent will be with you shortly.
Info: You are now chatting with Srilatha R.
Srilatha R: Hi, thank you for reaching out to Samsung Technical Support. How may I assist you?
You: Hi, I'm interested in purchasing your Note 8. I am considering the unlocked version as I have lines with Sprint and Verizon. Will the US version of the unlocked phone offer dual SIM capability so that I can use one device for both carriers?
Srilatha R: No, US version phones are compatible with single sim feature
You: That's a shame but thank you for confirming. Is there any way to get a version that offers the dual sim capability?
Srilatha R: No, Due to product design of the phone all the US version samsung phones are compatible with only single sim
You: Got it. Thank you.
Srilatha R: But you can try with international version phones
You: How would I purchase an international version?
Srilatha R: You can purchase it from third party websites such as amazon
You: Ok, that makes sense. I owned the Note 7 and am eligible for the trade-in credit. How would I purchase through Amazon and then still get the credit?
Srilatha R: Well, if you choose to trade in then , that can only be done by Samsung.
Srilatha R: As trade in offer is not eligible for other stores or websites
You: Ok, thank you for your help today
Why you want dual sim peopole.
Its hybrid which means your 200 gb sd card will not work with the second sim card. That is coming from a dual sim samsung user..
That's good to know. I didn't understand that to be the case - probably due to the desire to have one device that would support lines from two different carriers. That's a shame though - many of us have personal devices and work devices that would, in an ideal world, be combined into a single device with the majority of needs met.

For average business user who do not need more than 64 gb of storage. The dual sim version will be a good choice.
Its hybrid sim thought meaning you chose either second sim or a an up to 256 gb sd card. You cannot use the 2nd sim with the sd card at same time.
You will have to order it from Amazon thought.
As a traveling person between 2 countries the dual sim is an advantage for me.

TL;DR - SM-N950UZKAXAA IS NOT DUAL SIM
Samsung Direct/USA or whatever you call it or whoever is being represented in Samsung.com/US has a listing during pre-ordering that the unlocked note 8 is dual sim. I even have a screenshot of that one.
However, same SKU - SM-N950UZKAXAA, is being sold in Best Buy. I did check both unlocked units in Black and Orchid Gray and as the store people have shown me, they aren't dual sim at all. Perhaps it was good riddance that the units are delayed in the shipping because I would be most likely returning that one eventually because there was some sort of deception on the item being sold. Now cancelled, perhaps I'll just get my Note 8 in few months time when the price is lower.
