Hello i've just bought a D880 from ebay i think the phone is really good but all the menu are in english. I just want to know if there is a way to flash the mobile with a french rom...

I've got another problem the phone reboot sometimes when it is connected on the bluetooth headset in my car. Does anyone have this problem? Is there any upgrade and where?

It is not true that you can't use both sim, of course you can use both but you have to look at the Samsung manul, how to use it.

two sim card works at the same time, you can received calls while the other is on hold, you will also knew where your caller is calling, you can also switch off the other sim card if you don't want to use it without taking out from the phone itself.,you can also select what sim card you want to call.., as well as sms message. it's a very good phone. I rated it 4 star..

hello everybody! i'm from the philippines and would like to comment on the dual sim issue of the d880. i think samsung has let us down this time with this particular model since it isn't really a dual sim phone. u can't use both sim cards at the same time, there is a primary sim and a slave sim which requires to select which one to use. its just like having to change sim cards without opening the phone and requires you to restart the phone everytime you do this. i suggest you get your hands on a mobile phone which goes by the brand name of MyPhone. Specifically the T22 Duo model and the S22 Duo model. These models really are the dual sim types which means the 2 sims are active at the same time and you can receive sms from both sims at the same time, as well as calls. please take time to visit this website and see the specs and photos of these phones and see what im talking about. thanks. http://www.myphone.com.ph/phones.htm

D880 Duos slider can work with two SIM cards from different operators or support two phone numbers from the same operator.

Both cards in D880 can work simultaneously to make and receive calls, send/receive SMS messages. The user also can easily select which card to use for mobile browsing, e-mail and other multimedia services. Your WAP/MMS/E-mail profiles are switched automatically when different card is selected.

When you receive the call, the name of the card that for the call flashes on screen and each SIM card can be assigned it’s own ringtone. In case of missed calls, the relevant card is also indicated.

Don't bother 'ask'. It seems that our friends below are refusing the fact that the Samsung D880 can not make calls from the 2nd SIM unless it is first set as primary & the handset restarted. After all: ignorance is bliss! ;)

@Fernando and Alex,
It seems you do not understant, but samsung will not bother to explain it to you because you really cannot understand.

it the secondary sim card which can only receive call and text messaging, only the secondary SIM card is restricted with WAP or other functions other that mp3, camera and games functions.Take note other than mp3, camera or other multimedia functions.

to Fernando,

Pls, you are not one of the person who possess this kind of phone, pls refrain from posting wrong information.

to alex,

I hope you understand now.

Hello!

This is what I found on the Samsung website:

"Functions

Master SIM: Tri-band with full phone functions
Slave SIM: Dual-band with call & SMS capability only
..."

So, doesn't this mean that the Slave SIM is also active and can receive/make calls/SMS but without any other function?

The link is here:

"You have to explain the number 3 posting. Make some any sense."

I have reviewed both handsets and point 3 word by word but didn't find discrepancies between what I wrote and the handsets I have in hand. Can someone from GSMarena or Samsung & WND help me confirm the features please?
As it was announced by Samsungmobile -I'm a samsung fan myself- (you can check their website) the D880 is a 'Dual Standby' handset. Yes it’s a dual SIMs, yes it activates two cards simultaneously, only one is primary & therefore:

'You cannot make a phone call, send SMS, read Sim card SMS, from a Line unless it is set as primary - You are only allowed to select one of the two sim cards as primary. You can set a sim card as primary either from the Settings or from the shortcut button on the left. The unit will have to be automatically restarted as soon as the primary card is changed.'

For those who are interested in pictures for both handsets side by side or even the software manual (Samsung or WND) please post your email here and I will forward them to you.
