Android dual SIM handsets - recommendations and reviews

I was not totally awake and read this:

+ MTK6589(T) hardcore CPU with up to 1.5 GHz (other versions come with 1.2 GHz)
+ chargeable battery
Samsung
+ quadband UMTS support (850/900/1900/2100 MHz)

A chargeable battery, how nice.

The Samsung is the only one that has two US UMTS bands.

Perhaps they do not think dual-SIM is that marketable in the US.
This makes a start though.

I've heard pretty good things about the LG E455 Optimus L5 II Dual SIM. Quad band GSM and UMTS.

Details are sketchy on the LG site but I plan on taking a look at it next time I'm in Europe.

Price wise it should be about €170 VAT in.

Since the vast majority of phones in the US are sold through the carriers and the carriers have no interest in providing multiple-SIMs, you are probably correct.
