Samsung dual-mode CDMA/GSM phone

by Adam Berger on Mar 23, 2006 at 03:15 PM

Samsung cell phone dual sim cardThe Samsun W399 seems to be the first of its kind, especially from a major phone manufacturer. It can go from CDMA or tri-band GSM without powering off. The handset has slots for both RUIM and SIM cards. It also features Bluetooth, a video capable 1.3 megapixel, rotating camera with flash, a MP3 player, and BREW support. This is a really great concept and seems like something that should have been thought of previously, even if the phone has to be a little larger.

Thus far the phone has been FCC approved but there is no word on a US release (I expect not), or pricing.

    This phone would sell in the kenya as the two supported techologies cdma and gsm networks are available!!

  • Njagi said:

    We would really appreciate the prices for such phones. We have the two networks in Kenya and this would be greatly convenience customers of both networks.

  • Daniel said:

    Also there’s the Motorola A860 with dual mode (CDMA 800/1900 and
    GSM 900/1800) which is quite a sleek phone.

    Also Samsung has several models that does dual mode:
    SCH-W569
    SCH-W399
    SCH-W379
    W219
    W109

    You can review the phones and their prices here: http://www.africacdma.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/cdma_ref_quotation_270307.pdf

    Other providers of dual mode phones include Huawei and ZTE. I’d recommend the Motorola A860 though - a sleek phone!

    Kenya:Dual mode phones are a great idea.But Safaricom and Celtel can easly give suscribers two mobile lines in the same mobile phone now so a person can use two different tarrifs on the same phone.They will not until they are forced to.So CDMA and dual mode mobiles will break their duopoly. I say it is high time.Mind you CDMA comes in many flavours and are not compatiable so be careful when you import.

    I really hope that if they’re gonna open it up, they don’t confine it to Verizon. Sprint has a very good network. http://www.goarticles.com/cgi-bin/showa.cgi?C=2154254
