WCDMA/GSM Dual Mode Twins Phone

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."

New HSDPA slide and rotate from Samsung

We'll always respect a good slider and Samsung's latest phone to hit Korea looks like it'll hold its own.  The SPH-W2400 looks like a solid HSDPA slider that also rotates to better accommodate video.  Other than the always interesting slide-to-rotate form factor, the phone features TV-Out, although not too sure when we'd truly like to see cell-phone quality video on a larger screen.  It sports a two megapixel camera, MP3 playback, Bluetooth and Micro SD.  Naturally, no plans to see the phone in the US as of yet, but if you import one it should work on US GSM networks.

We've got some more pics after the break, if you want to see the full slide-and-rotate action. (click Read More)
