Samsung has a reputation for producing the most models of
mobile phones out there. With over a hundred different models alone in the
Korean market, it's no surprise that it has models
to accommodate almost everyone’s needs. In come the SGH-D880 incorporating two
separate SIM card slots and Dual Active Standby connectivity that will enable
users to enjoy the functionality of two phones in one.
Read on for the full review.
At first glance it resembles another Samsung slider mobile, the SGH-D900 although this model seems to be slightly thicker. It has the usual must have features of all mobile phones these days: GPRS/EDGE, Tri-band support, 3 Megapixels Camera, 2.3” QVGA TFT LCD, Stereo FM and support of external flash memory (MicroSD). The main feature of the D880 however is that it can support 2 sims to be on standby at the same time. More on this feature later. Included in the box is the charger, headset, Li-ion battery, usb cable, Samsung PC Studio software and a user guide. The headset, charger and USB cable all connects to the one and only propriety connector on the bottom right side of the phone, so better not lose them.
As you can see, the dual line nature is clear when u open the back of the phone which revels 2 sim card holder. It will still work if you use only one, but I’ll be using my own Maxis line and another loaned Celcom line to test the phone’s dual sim capability
Installing the sim cards are pretty straight forward, just slide the sims in to place.
Since it now has 2 sims, when you first turn it on, you have to key in both the PIN and since this is also the first time the phone is turned on with the new sims, you have the option to set which one is primary and which is secondary.
