Well, I understand using two SIM cards isn't that special that multiple portals will open in the world,.. I was just wondering if using dual would introduce some more advantages then (like you said) multiple lines/services usage...
Or are the SIM cards still relatively primitive for that?

isnt it possible to forward calls from one phone to another so that you only have to carry one phone?]]>Mar 27th 2008 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/
However, the big question is are they hot-swappable? Most phones that can handle two SIMs that I have seen require one to turn off the phone an turn it on again in order to switch SIMs, which is a pain in the arse.]]>Mar 28th 2008 5:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/Mar 27th 2008 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/Mar 27th 2008 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/]]>Mar 27th 2008 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/

Just how pathetic is answering your own question immediately after you stating it?

And anyhow, Moto is certainly not disappearing within the a year, and that's usually as long as anybody keeps a phone. Not buying a Moto *now* because of service problems that might arise in 3 or more years, if at all, is pretty ridiculous...]]>Mar 27th 2008 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/Mar 27th 2008 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/
I can't remember the last time I had to contact the manufacturer for any of my cell phones (and I've had a lot of 'em!). I've had a couple phones break in the past but I was planning on buying a new phone anyways, so I never tried to contact the manufacturer.

I think twice I've had problems with phones and I just took it back to the T-mobile store and to the store I bought my old Nextel phone and they took care of it.

But i'm also not one of those people who keeps a phone forever. If I were, I probably would say "no" to your question.]]>Mar 27th 2008 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/Mar 27th 2008 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/Mar 27th 2008 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/Mar 27th 2008 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/Mar 27th 2008 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/

Because if it's the former, then you're mistaken, there are some phones out there that allow it: http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/02/12/be-safe-have-two-carriers-on-the-go/
If it's the latter, I don't know but I'd guess you're right.]]>Mar 27th 2008 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/Mar 27th 2008 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/Mar 27th 2008 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/Mar 28th 2008 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/Mar 27th 2008 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/Mar 27th 2008 9:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/As for a Verizon CDMA SIM, I think the one that they put in the 8800 world edition may have the info I need...]]>Mar 27th 2008 10:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/motorola-lets-loose-dual-sim-card-packing-ming-a1800/
I'm hoping Motorola pulls themselves up by their bootstraps. I have a feeling this bleeding money thing will get tightened up before the company goes under.
