It's about time one of these came out! I need a dual-mode phone like this so bad- it would be an easy way to take advantage of Verizon Wireless's coverage (roaming from China, naturally- pretty cheap at 35 a minute) if my T-Mobile coverage dies out, and it allows me to keep one number from each country on the phone. And to mroach, all Chinese dual-mode phones support SIM cards in both slots- you press the C/G button and tell it whether to read either slot as SIM or R-UIM. No, you can not have both numbers running at once, still have to switch when you want to use the other number, but yes, this phone can run 2 SIMs at once. Ahhh, living in China...
