two SIM at once Quadband phone!

Does the v90 use real Symbian? What about Nokia accessories? Will they work with this Nokia inspired phone?

Have never used a symbian phone, so I am not sure. I have a 3120 (S40 I think) and the interface is similar to it. Again, I am not sure if other nokia accesories will work. The charger is definitely not the same as my 3120s.

There are several threads (mostly questions actually) related to the phone forum here:

No. The OS is no doubt proprietary and simply mimics the Nokia menu structure. The hardware too is proprietary; nothing that directly plugs into a Nokia phone will work on this (or most Chinese) models.

I just returned from a 10-day international trip with the V90+. It has performed very well. The only additional negative that I discovered is that the microphone has poor ambient noise immunity. Our first call was from the arrivals area of the airport and it was so noisy it was impossible for the person I was calling to distinguish my voice.

It's kinda cool watching two roaming different SIM cards (Mobal, TravelSIM) determine which carrier to use simultaneously. Sometimes they used the same one, sometimes not. The TravelSIM always chose the bargain carrier whose coverage in remote areas was not great. The Mobal (O2 UK) SIM always chose O2 or Vodafone and had great signal everywhere.
