National Geographic has partnered with Cellular Abroad to create the Duet D888 candybar phone. The “Duet” parts means that this device can accept two SIM cards, allowing users to simply insert a local pre-paid card when travelling, while at the same time keeping their regular number in the other SIM slot.
Aside from this very useful feature, the Duet D888 doesn’t impresses with the rest of the specs. The phone sports a tri-band (900/1800/1900MHz) GSM radio (no 3G), 2 megapixel camera, 2.8-inch QVGA screen, Bluetooth, FM radio, media player, and a microSD memory card slot. Size wise, National Geographic’s baby measures 111x50x17 mm, and has a weight of 112 grams.
Beyond E-Tech is reportedly manufacturing the phone and we can see they’re selling it for $349, which is kinda steep…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. 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.
