Remember I was telling you about 2 Samsung cell phones with Dual SIM capability, from which the D880 Duos was released first and D780 Duos came after in Russia? Samsung D780 Duos was released at half price the D880 Duos, because it provides less features compared with the first model released on the market, and both are very popular in Russia. So popular that Samsung D780 Duos became the official phone of Russia’s Olympic team and am I am referring at the gold-plated version.

It keeps the same features including the bar design, a 2.1-inch display, MP3 player, up to 2GB memory support, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, Internet browsing, email, a built-in 2MP camera, stereo FM radio, mobile printing, document viewer and, of course, the Dual SIM capability. It also allows the user talk up to 3 hours.



The standard model costs around $300, while the gold-plated version sports the logo of the Olympic Games.
