Sorry If I sound like a dumb ass but why the hell would you need two sim cards in a phone?

because most of these phones are carrier unlocked, and a lot of them are in asia. even cheap quad sim phones exist. different promos for carriers and plans and contracts.

If you come from America, or Europe, or any other country where most people avails postpaid plan, then you definitely don't need the dual sim phone. But for some country where prepaid sims still prevails over postpaid sims, these dual sim phones are helpful. Carriers in some countries offer promos (unlimited call and text for example) only within their network. So having sims of different carrier will make communication much cheaper if communicating with different people using different carriers.

Ha ha, This reminds me of the alleged Bill Gate's comment: "Who needs more than 64KB RAM?"

Essential for businessmen, especially so for those that frequently traverse between 2 specific countries for meetings and business business. I believe majority of the carriers in the world do not SIM-lock their phones, as is customary in the US, quite sure this is so for Asian coutries.

because if you live in an area where a carrier doesnt cover a 5k square mile radius.. like say any of a dozen asian or european countries and you travel around like so many people do, you need to carry a sim card for more than 1 carrier. Its more of a convenience thing than anything. It just keeps the extra sim card to switch over when your on the other carrier... instead of manually popping the battery and switching to the alternate carrier's card.

I'd like to know whether this phone will support 3G as well. China has a different 3G band, no?

actually a lot of people in asian countries use multi-sim phones for post paid connections as well. so they can easily get two different plan like one for calling and another for data only or two different carreers. these phones are always unlocked without any contract or anything.

This phone would be great in the states? If it's made unlocked then you'd be able to switch carriers and keep the same phone. You'd probably be able to use it on all 4 carriers!!!
