Samsung F480 + second SIM = D988 for China

Call it Tocco in the UK, Player Style in France, and now, you can call it dual SIM capable in China. The F480 has been morphed (more or less, anyway) into the D988 for the Chinese market, a place where a good percentage of the mobile populace enjoys having a pair of wireless accounts at the ready. It carries over the 5 megapixel autofocus camera, too; bring back the 3G that's missing here and release it as a Europe-ready DuoS model, Samsung, and you might have a global winner on your hands.

I remember when I was totally jonesing for that phone. My Centro is a pretty good substitute for it though.

Related trivia- the LG Dare was released in China like this, except it was dual CDMA/GSM (tri-band GSM, no less) also. It had lots of other fun stuff that Verizon ripped out.
