The closest i've found is a Samsung i830... but it only works on European GSM... and I'm in the USA.

I have a Razor, for when I go cycling; and the Treo is just too big. I just forward my Treo number to my Razr.

The Razr is on a family plan, so it cost me $10 per month to do this.]]>Feb 21st 2006 11:25PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/Feb 21st 2006 11:56PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/Feb 21st 2006 11:57PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/Feb 22nd 2006 1:28AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/
Scenario 1:
I can't live without my PDA. Add the phone. Add the camera when needed, because phone cameras are pathetic. Add a music player/ipod if you can't fit enough music on your PDA's SD card. That's four devices and we're loaded with _another_ phone??

Scenario 2:
I finally got an all-in one PDA and phone, and now you want me to carry around _another_ phone??

You can't win? Scenario 3:
I want a phone with capacity for a dual sim. Finally back down to one device.]]>Feb 22nd 2006 1:57AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/
I think a dual sim capable phone would be nice, but I don't think we'll ever see it in the US.]]>Feb 22nd 2006 2:14AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/
i have two mobile phones too, while most have a business number and personal number, i have two personal numbers.
I need those two numbers because i am travelling a lot between two countries. To keep the roaming costs low, i've decided to subscribe to one country and to take a prepaid card in the secound country.

There's a lot of backdraws, first of all i two different branch of mobile phones, this means i have two different charging adapters.
Carrying two mobile phones is very annoying.

I wonder if it's possible to make a sim card that support two ( or more ) numbers.
This will help much trouble away for business - personal or personal-personal.

Nearly all Nextel phones now sans Blackberries are capable of having two numbers for both inbound and outbound calls - with one sim card.

I have a Treo 600 personal phone and an i730 from Sprint/Nextel for whom I work.]]>Feb 22nd 2006 5:04AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/
In other words - CDMA SUCKS AND GSM ROX!!! LOL!!!!1

Oh, the N80 or N91 come SO close to the perfect phone. For me anyhow, where Qwerty isn't a high priority. But then, that's not EV-DO. MAN, that sucks.]]>Feb 22nd 2006 5:08AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/
So my life is sort of organized - until it's the weekend and I'm out and want to check my personal calendar - CRAP it's on my Treo at home!!]]>Feb 22nd 2006 9:28AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/Feb 22nd 2006 10:03AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://duosim.com/supersim.html

Using this SIM, I have three phone lines on one SIM. Depending on the phone (I have SE and Motorola), you might have to turn it off before you can switch to another number.]]>Feb 22nd 2006 12:42PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/
I have 8 phones altogether, mostly from my slow process of upgrading to a better one when I could afford it.

Still no landline and no intention of getting one. Mobiles are the future.]]>Feb 22nd 2006 2:42PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/Feb 22nd 2006 5:41PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/
An opption of switching between phone munbers could be the same way. If you have more than one munber on your phone, and you get a call, your munbers would come up and the one that is being called could have a flashing bell next to it to let you know whitch munber to answer.]]>Nov 14th 2006 11:27AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/Nov 14th 2006 12:01PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/02/21/16-of-us-customers-have-at-least-two-cellphones/
Also - does anyone know if any cell phone plan offers "an extension" phone for a cell, as with home phones? I sometimes have my cell downstairs when I am upstairs ... and would love to be able to have an extra phone to answer for the "same phone number".
