Hong Kong based HKC (no it’s not a typo) launched the world’s first Windows Mobile smartphone with two SIM card slots, allowing savvy users to make and receive phone calls on two networks while doing their usual “Exchange thing.” Two models were announced — W1000 which is equipped with one GSM and one CDMA SIM slot, and G1000 that comes with to GSM slots.
Aside from boasting two SIM slots, the both devices also sport 200MHz Qualcomm CPU, 256MB ROM and 64MB RAM, 2.8 inch QVGA touchscreen, 2 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth support, and a standard microSD slot. On the down side, the lack of 3G radio and WiFi is a dealbreaker for many people, myself included. In addition, faster CPU and more RAM are a must these days, especially for the resource hungry Windows Mobile. Not to mention, 3 megapixel camera and a VGA screen are also cool to have on board, but something’s gotta give, I guess. Let’s hope HKC’s next smartphone will include all the things I just mentioned. Then we may have a true winner! In the meantime, check out the short demo video after the jump.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
