The "Twins" phone by China’s TechFaith Wireless Communication Company has the distcion of being the "World's first WCDMA/GSM dual mode phone” (or so they claim). The handset allows users to load one WCDMA card and one GSM card or to load dual GSM SIM cards.

Other features found on this “dual wonder: include; a 2.0 megapixel camera, MP3 and MPEG4 player, WCDMA modem, along with both video call and dual Bluetooth capabilities.

"Twins has twice the power!" exclaimed Mr. Defu Dong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TechFaith. "International travelers have been gouged by high roaming fees and poor coverage for years. We designed Twins to solve these problems in an affordable, attractively designed cell phone. We expect high demand for Twins based on early feedback and our first mover advantage. TechFaith has secured contracts from Europe and South East Asia, and our first shipment is scheduled for this November."
