Hi,

It depends on your settings. In my case i chose for the second sim to ring through the first, i hear a beep.

And marius,

Buy the PHONE!!! ;) you can switch from with one push of a button!!!

Gr,

Marcelo

When I am talking on SIM1, SIM2 can be on call waiting and if someone's is calling me on SIM2 it will be "your mobile phone is turned off" or i will get MSG on phone that SIM2 is ringing?

Hi Marius

I received the D880 today and I can now answer like a user too.

Yes, you can. Select the name you want to call, and then push the lateral button to select the sim. The same goes to SMS.

Hope this helps you to buy it.

I have only one question for Marcelo (as a user): can you do the same switch with the lateral button when you make a call from agenda...like: you can keep the cursor over one agenda name and then select with the lateral button from what sim you want to make the call?

thank you in advance Marcelo...

Hi Marius and others!

@ Marcelo:

1) Are the ringers loud? Or is it a faint tone for the 1st cpl of seconds THEN gets loud (ie D600)-->yes they are. No problem unless you have hearing problem.

2) Can the camera shutter sound be turned off?-->havent tested yet. I think so.

3) Is there a light for the camera? If there is, could it be used as a flashlight?-->yes/NO

4) The specs do not list T9 as a feature. Does it have T9?-->Yes it has.


Emailthegame 2008-01-21 03:34 jMJK Maybe there are some options that U can set, so U don.t have to reboot the phone when U.re makijng a call from the second sim...I don.t know, but who told us the we have to reboot the phone? and where did the phone was bought...I dont think that are 2 different models, maybe different sttings or softare versions maybe...in my country (Romania) the price for thie model is arround 400eu...how much did U pay for it Marcelo? ... i.m thinking on buying one of the cect model...it.s arround 70eu...made of plastic & inox with an TV reciver & 2Gb card...but I.m not sure of it.s resistance...I.ve heard that in time they are decompose piece by piece...what do U think guys? Marcelo what about the sliding mechanism, it works/seems/resists OK?-->

the sliding mechanism is ok. No very steady but it slides just fine! I think that the story abouth two different models is beacause you have:

1- d880 with duos logo and russian letters on the keypad

2-d880 withOUT the duos logo en NO russian letters on the keypad

The reboot probleem is probely in the software because, mine is flashed cause it has a dutch menu, wich isnt posible without flasing it with new software. So i think that everybody who has this problem should flash the. Cause i dont have to reboot to call from my second sim.

And if I'm in conversation with one of the sims and somebody rings my on the other number i get a BEEP to notify me that i have second line on the other sim. Ive read that some of the users could not use this option.

Gr,

Marcelo

watch that video. At 2 minutes 10 seconds you can see how to select sim1 or sim2 without rebooting the phone. The video is in french but you can see clearly how to do it. People who says that need to reboot: Read the manual, please.

Sorry for my english.

Guys who travel to USA, This phone suck Period. I bought it thinking that I don't need to have 2 cell phones when I travel to USA, well guess what? I thought wrong. Only the primary is the active one. The second sim will not have signal at all. It doesn’t matter if it a USA Sim Card or UAE Sim Card (my case). Only One sim will work. I think one of the guys here mentioned the secondary card is dual band.
So what a waste of money I am still carrying two cell phones. Oh and to put salt on injury when I call Samsung they have no clue? It’s been a month since I have spoke to a tech, which said that he'll get back to me and never did. I had to call him back after 3 weeks and still don't have any F*** clue. Sorry guys for the offensive language.

I have compared the manuals in russian and english as regards the use of dual sim-cards. There isn't any difference.

Could it be that some useras haven't proceeded to chosing which sim-card should be active using the menu and that the phone then defaults to one of the sim card sockets and that you can then only shift by rebooting the phone?

Hi Marius,

That is correct. I have a d880 without the duos logo on top. I do NOT. I repeat I DO NOT have to RESTART to call from my second sim. My primairy sim is a prepaid and my second is my postpaid sim. So i text with my prepaid and call with my Postpaid. I select a number from my phonebook. Then i push the button on the left of the phone. And i can call from my slave/second sim. WITHOUT restarting. The battery has to be charged every 72 hours if you leave it on at 24/7

More info just leave a post for me.
