Keepin' it real fake, part CLXXXIII: WebXpress just a "Music" and "5800" shy of greatness

Here lately, we've been pretty impressed with just how awesome some of these Chinese knockoffs have been. In fact, we were beginning to wonder if the bona fide manufacturers weren't in cahoots with some of these low-class acts. Thanks to China Grabber, we're being reacquainted with the garbage that we once knew and loved, as the WebXpress handset is about as pathetic a rip of the 5800 XpressMusic as you could ever hope to see. Reportedly, it's packing a 3-inch QVGA LCD, quad-band GSM radio, dual SIM slots, a 1.3 megapixel camera, video recorder, e-book reader and even some form of "health management" software. For $149.99, we're almost tempted to order one just to see about the latter. Almost.

Every kirf phone has the exact same specs: 1.3mp camera, dual sim, quad band radio. Id love to buy some and open them up only to find that they are everything is held in place with hot glue and they all have the same innards.

Could a Chinese gentleman please explain why dual SIM card slots are so important in China/Taiwan/HK?

In asia (I'm in Hong Kong), everyone has a "few" cell phone numbers, therefore in Hong Kong it is a very common sight for people to carry 2 cell phones+ with them.
