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.

@ Marcelo:
1) Are the ringers loud? Or is it a faint tone for the 1st cpl of seconds THEN gets loud (ie D600)
2) Can the camera shutter sound be turned off?
3) Is there a light for the camera? If there is, could it be used as a flashlight?
4) The specs do not list T9 as a feature. Does it have T9?

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.

Come on guys! Don't you think that Samsung would have announced the different improved unit if they really had one?!
They only have one model: It's the Samsung D880 that unfortunately doesn't deserve the Samsung logo!

Not so good design but one step forward on Duos sims. If you follow the F490 or GioGio Armani design, you will see a big success.
Make it happen Samsung.

Posting again. According to Samsung Singapore the second SIM is Dual-Band. They don't mention which 2 bands, however. If those are 900/1800 then the phone can not *receive* calls in USA or Canada on the second sim. Can somebody from USA or Canada share their experience about using the phone here. I need a dual sim phone but it is too expensive to purchase blindly.

Hello,
As you can see I'm from the Netherlands. I received the phone today. I'v read all the posts. I think there are different types of D880 on the market. For instance. The one I bought was a UK import. Without de duos logo on top. But i CAN(READ) switch easely between simcards. WITHOUT a reboot/restart. I dont have the russian letters on my keyboard.
So buyers please be awere of the different types. I believe some buyers dissapointed because you have to restart the phone if you want to switch between simcards. The one i have does not have this problem.
I bought it at www.gsmtrack.nl
Ps im am NOT a Samsung Dealer! Not by FAR!
Just a chap with two numbers!

Hello
I've bought this phone and i'm happy with this the only problem I have is that the phone reboot after 15mm connected to bluetooth handfree in my car....
Is there a new firmware to correct this bug?

I tried it yesterday and heres how I see it. Both the sims are active and can receive calls and text message. If your using the primary sim and someone is calling you from the secondary sim, the caller gets a busy tone. I don't recall the phone showing a notice that someone was calling the second sim. I think the only concern is that it needs to restart when changing from primary to secondary. I'm still thinking if I should get it..hhmmmmm....

if you need a cellphone with Dual Active SIM, you should try the Versio brand Duplii or Twinn model phone. Look for My phone Duo as well.
