Most phones simply have 2 dial buttons.
And when writing SMS it asks you "Send SIM1" and "Send SIM2"
veeery easy.

Received the phone yesterday from china. Dealextreme seems to work very well.

2 sims work but there are some small issues.

Choosing the network manual only seems to work for sim a and not sim b.
The keys are a bit on the small side.

Checking battery life the next days.

FM radio is nice but will i really use it ?
Camera and video and not worth mentioning, they suck.
Came with a build in 256 mb memory card for mp3's.
Just hook the phone to and pc usb port and it will start charing and become a modem, webcam, or storage devide.

Would like to modify the contact by software on pc but don't know how to do it.

But for the money the thing is good value.

Next step would be to have a smartphone which has callback software on it. This would allow you to set a number that triggers the callback and would answer the phone when called back and dial the number that you just typed into the phone.

Yes, my experience with DealExtreme has been consistently positive. It was
only the fact that a reliable dealer sold this phone that I took the
chance of ordering one in the first place.

Interesting observation on manual network selection. Sounds like a bug in
the firmware - assuming you only need manual network selection on one SIM
most of the time, I suppose you could work around it by choosing which SIM
to install as "A".

Ran into another weird bug with my TravelSIM. While callback works fine, I
used a USSD code to activate voice mail. The phone responded with the
expected "VOICE MAIL ACTIVATED" message, but then went into a "please
wait" hourglass screen that would not go away until I turned off the
power.

As you observe; the multimedia, FM radio, camera etc are really extras.
If someone is looking for an inexpensive, relatively solid phone that
really implements dual SIM technology, this one is a good choice.
