TechFaith Wireless Released the First WCDMA/GSM Dual Mode Phone
Posted by: Sierra in TechFaith Wireless
TechFaith Wireless is a company from China headquartered in Beijing, specialized in developing and designing mobile handset software, and recently has released the Twins mobile phone, which is the first WCDMA/GSM dual mode phone in the world.
This means that you can load one WCDMA card and one GSM card or dual GSM SIM cards.

The Dual Sim feature is not new, being encountered for the first time in the CECT phones, Phillips and in the model announced by Samsung.
The bad part is that until now, CECT didn’t manage to make its phones to work properly.
There were encountered problems with the sensitivity of the touchscreen and also with the special Dual Sim function.
The two versions available of the phone in discussion are Dragonfly and OMAP, the difference between the two being a faster processor in the latter with and the tri-band network support, instead of quad-band as in the first one mentioned.
This phone has a built-in 2MP camera and a 2.8-inch touchscreen display, 256MB of RAM memory, 64MB ROM, MP3 and MPEG4 video playback support, the WCDMA modem, Bluetooth and videocalling.
TechFaith plans to release the models this month starting in Europe and South East Asia.
I personally am expecting it to work better than CECT, and that it’ll be offered at approximately the same price of $250.
