The power to wield dual SIM cards is the hotness right now. At least Samsung seems to think so. With the Samsung D880 DuoS holding down the high-end of the dual-SIM market in Europe and the Samsung P240 DuoS bringing up the low-end, Samsung apparently wants to hit the mid-range of with the Samsung D780 DuoS.

Samsung is billing the Samsung D780 as the 300 EUR mid-ranger to handle the dual SIM card duties in a monoblock/candybar form-factor. The Samsung D780 sports a 2 megapixel camera, 2.1-inch QVGA display, tri-band (900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM/EDGE radio, FM radio, and microSD card slot in a 15.7mm thick package.

Samsung D780 DuoS

Interestingly, the Samsung D780 looks just like and sports the same feature-set as the Samsung P240 that Samsung’s Russian head Yoonsoo Kim showed off last month. And, just like the Samsung P240, the Samsung D780 is headed to Russia first. Did Mr. Kim mistakenly refer to the lower-end DuoS handset as the P240 instead of the Samsung D780? It would make sense to tag the dual-SIM handset with a “D” rather than the “P” that’s reserved for Sammy’s upper-range luxury handsets. Is Mr. Kim’s Samsung P240 actually the Samsung D780?

We’ll just have to wait and see what Samsung does with the Samsung D780 before we know anything…

    I just bought this phn a week ago and so far it performs very well! I’m glad of having it as a replacement to 2 of my previous phn (motorola V3XX & motorola L6). The stylish looks is so WoW! and the features will not let you down..! Eventhough it is not 3G phn(not like Motorola V3XX)but i’m so proud of having it. The speaker is not as loud as Nokia xpressmusic but can say,somewhere there! The most interesting part, both lines are working so good at the same time and well managed(by the system). The security system of the phn is as good as Motorola…infact better since you can list the unwanted caller in the Reject List or block the number from sending unwanted sms to your phn(very secured for those commited guy who having…another affairs..hehehe..)And the FM radio is so clear either using the provided stereo earpiece or phn speaker itself. The battery? Well,not bad at all..! And also it come with a CD (to install PC Suite)and with that you can edit any songs/picture to be used in your phn as a ringtone or what so ever..Ok guys,thats all i can say about this D-780 infact lot more to tell but i think enough for me to say that i’m SATISFIED..!
