Nokia Dual Sim mobile, will it ever be a reality?

September 5, 2009 · Article by Sriraj · 50 Comments 

Ok, the question is straight and simple ‘Why doesn’t Nokia introduce any Dual Sim mobile?’

The answer though may not be that simple, at least for Nokia to concern about. Nokia as a corporation may know which field yields best results and that may be the reason for its foray into Netbooks market recently. Nokia booklet 3G is designed to be a Netbook but the price of $800 makes it a comfortable notebook computer.

Nokia But I’m afraid; Nokia got it absolutely wrong in thinking that there is no market for dual Sim mobiles.

Consider the case of India which is the second largest mobile market in the world after china with nearly 400 million mobile phone users. Currently Dual Sim mobiles are a craze here. No wonder with the ultra low calling charges of different operators in different segments, subscribers want to take full advantage of each Operator. Like, Mr.Anil uses Airtel for making cheap STD calls but uses Reliance for making local calls. Also he may use another Sim for only Business purpose. Sure that he can have multiple mobiles just like multiple Sim cards but having a Dual Sim mobiles does make the work much simple.

Consider my case. I have been using Airtel for nearly 4 years but very recently, I’ve been taken away by the 1 second pulse of Tata Docomo. But this transformation takes a lot of time. I can easily bet that my Airtel number is in the contacts list of at least 1000 people besides those hundreds of cold calling marketers and when it comes to my new Docomo number, no one knows it except me. Different People try calling me at my old number and I keep giving them my new number. And now I’m looking for a nice Dual sim mobile but I cannot find any trusted brand like Nokia.

When Does Nokia understand my problems?

    There are many guys who still believes in brand..that’s y I still prefer Nokia..In other companies, micromax is trying to be good but u know its not just the price we should concern, there exist many thing which v doesn’t notice at first time like-

    1_SMS storage capacity
    2_Phonebook memory
    3_Connectivity with system and internet
    4_Calling time while using multimedia functions..and the list go on….

    People only see hey look..dats a dual sim with mega pixel camera and mp3 and this and that and finally hey hey its only for 4000/-…at first it sounds great…but later u realize Nokia was and is better….

    I am a student and I had Nokia 2310 from last three year and I was thinking about Micromax Q3 coz i need a cell within 4500/- but finally I’m going to buy Nokia 2700 classic..

    I think Nokia will beat all dual-sim mobiles business if it launches Dual-SIM Mobiles in India. All the best for Nokia.

  14. K.RAM says:

    yes,now nokia people are in condition to lanch dual sim in minimum rate.becoz normaly electronic goods are used for one or two year.after this they will be out of market or useless.then people go for other.so they do not like to invest more amount in mobiles which is having single sim in nokia brand.many china brands are available in market with lot of facilty like dual sim,dual camera,tutch screen etc.there good in quality and effect and glarity.but they do not have spares in india.that is problem for that .nothing more than that.but nokia considering itself as a branded mobile monopoly in world.it produced more than 400 to 500 million pieces of mobiles/year.and also it have turn over around 40 to 50 billion usd.if they introduce dual sim card mobile their business mobile will face 50%loss.they still keep silence to launch dual card mobiles.nokia please do not be a selfish.please allow people to use branded dual sim mobile like nokia.otherwise people will go for change………………………………….please introduce dual sim mobiles ……….
