Need a different line? Just flip the WND DUO Atom upside down
As we've already seen with the two-faced DUO 2000, WND's pretty creative when it comes to seamlessly accessing two SIMs from the same handset, but this pretty much takes the cake. The company's DUO Atom (not to be confused with O2's Xda Atom) transitions between its two SIMs with a simple rotation of the phone; talk into the other end, and voila, you're on your other line. Specs seem decent, too, with a 3 megapixel camera, 128MB of onboard storage, 220 x 176 OLED display, and stereo Bluetooth, though the Class 10 GPRS has us wanting -- as does the triband GSM radio. So yeah, if rolling two-up on your accounts is your thing and you're okay shunning fast data and a healthy chunk of support for bandwidth in the Western Hemisphere, your stylish conversation piece of a candybar has arrived.[Via Boy Genius Report and Crave]
Split personalities: the WND Wind DUO 2000
Wouldn't it be great if you could, like, glue two handsets together? One could be for, say, personal use while the other is strictly business. Two phones, two SIMs, but you just have to carry around one bulky mass. Strike that idea, Lebanon's WND Telecom beat us to the punch. Unlike devices like the Samsung Ultra Music F300 that offer different functionality on each of their sides, WND's Wind DUO 2000 is literally two thin GSM candybars placed back-to-back -- identical in every way, save for their colors. The spec sheet is nothing to get too excited about (GPRS data is all you get, for example) so the draw here seems to simply be that you can get an ear-splitting ring in your ear emanating from phone number 2 while you're talking on phone number 1. At 17.9mm, it's admittedly pretty thin for what it is, but the triband radio's a dream killer.[Thanks, Rey]
