Samsung D880 Duos with Dual SIM Broke out from Russia
Posted by: Sierra in Samsung
Well, it seems that the Samsung D880 Duos is not that expensive after all.
After the launch in Russia last year, the model was imported in other countries and the price is of around $500, and not $1,080 as it was announced for Russia.
For example the phone can be found in European countries at a few small mobile phone stores others than those known by most of the people, where you can find also phone accessories.
It is a cell phone with lots of features starting of course with the Dual SIM functionality and ending, if you like, with the built-in 3.15MP camera which captures pictures at a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels, can record videos and has autofocus and flash capabilities.
I, for example, am not too interested in the camera functionality and, as many of you, would need an Internet browsing capability, e-mail function, FM radio and document viewer.
This phone has these too, and besides them it comes also with a business card reader application, voice memo, handsfree, TV out as the recent Samsung phone models, Java MIDP 2.0, and supports MP3, AAC+ and MPEG4 playing.
The phone works on GSM 900/1800/1900 networks only, has no 3G or HSCSD, but it supports GPRS Class 10 at 32-48 kbps and EDGE Class 10 with 236.8 kbps transfer speed.
There is also no WLAN support but Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP and USB 2.0 connectivity options.
In case you need more memory you can insert a microSD (TransFlash) card.
Samsung D880 Duos has a design very similar with the D600 slider, having a 2.3-inch TFT display with 140 x 320 pixels resolution and 356K colors, and a Li-Ion battery of 1200mAh which should last for about 4 days in stand by and talking, although a few owners of this model have complained about the battery to be lasting maximum 2 days.
The cell phone has a weight of 113 grams and measures 104 x 51 x 18.9 mm.
Its Dual SIM functions is working well but some encountered limitations with the SIM card set as Slave (secondary), being able only to send and receive SMS and make/receive phone calls, while the Primary SIM allowed them to access all phone’s functions.
