Samsung D780 Dual Sim

Samsung D780 Dual SIM (also branded as Samsung P240 DuoS) is the second Dual SIM handset made by Samsung.

The most important thing about this phone is the Dual SIM capability. This bar-style phone has a 2 megapixel camera, 2.1-inch TFT display, microSD memory expansion, FM radio, Bluetooth and MS Office document viewer.

Main disadvantages are shown at GSMarena review:

Secondary SIM good for telephony and messaging only
Secondary SIM dual-band only (no 1900 MHz support)
Large size
Interface options well behind the times
Poor sunlight legibility
No 3G support
Portrait-oriented camera
Poor web browser
Awkward file browser
Poor music player

As we can read at Unwiredview, you have to reboot if you want to initiate calls from the "Secondary" card. You can buy it at ebay for about 250$, pretty expensive.

B5702: Fifth Samsung Dual SIM

Samsung B5702 is their last Dual SIM phone. Previously they launched their first and most famous Dual SIM: Samsung D880 DuoS. From them on Samsung D780, Samsung D980 and Samsung S9502 were presented.

Info about this phone is still a rumor. It is supposed to be and slimmer like Samsung D880 DuoS (18,9mm thick), a 256K color QVGA display...

But as they don't say anything about WIFI or 3G, we guess B5702 won't have those features.
