Quad Sim Quad Band phone now being sold

And it arrived by registered airmail today.

Setup consisted of turning off the noisy welcome and shut-down music, installing 4 sim cards and a 4 gb micro-sd card, pairing my bluetooth headset and my mac, and charging one of the two battery packs they sent. Still have to set new ringtones and screensavers.

Bottom line is "it does exactly what it says on the tin." It really will run 4 sim chips without any problems and has some fun functions like an FM radio, analog tv set, mp3 player, dual cameras with video capability, etc. It also has what has to be the thinnest extendable antenna I've ever seen on a device for the radio and the TV. In theory it can also browse the web, but a wap browser at GPRS speeds would be pretty slow.

It does eat batteries fairly quickly when you are using various functions on the phone. When just in standby it's not as thirsty. I'll probably get high capacity batteries...the batteries are Nokia BL-4u clones, so should have no problem finding them. I've seen 1500, 1800 and 1930 mah batteries instead of the stock 1000 mah batteries they sent with the handset.

In terms of size and weight it's heavier than the dual sim MFU v200 phone I've been using, but still it's much lighter and smaller than an AT&T Tilt/HTC TyTyn smartphone I used to use.

Wow! I am breathless. Please keep us updated.

Too bad analog TV is all but dead in the US. [I actually still get 3 stations. 2 are HSN.]

As things change quickly [WiFi/VOIP], perhaps this is an idea whose time will never come. If only it had been out
two or three years ago.

Well I have 2 SIM cards phone for 2 years, still works fine. With original batteries stays stand by about 5-7 days.

BTW Ken, how much you paid for your Quad SIM monster?
