Pocket PC Thoughts: HKC Offers Dual-SIM Windows Mobile 6 Series: W1000 and G1000

"HKC, HKC Communication (Hong Kong) Limited., is proud to announce the launched of two pioneering models of dual SIM Card Windows Mobile Professional™ PDA phones with dual network (GSM + CDMA) or Dual Standby (GSM +GSM) capabilities. The two members of the 1000 series, W1000 and G1000, both designed with a slim and stylist body are equipped with different double network capabilities. The W1000 is equipped with one GSM and one CDMA SIM slot, making phone calls and data communication on different networks using one phone a possibility. The G1000 on the other hand has two built-in GSM SIM slots, which allows voice and data communications between two different GSM networks concurrently. Both models run on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional [and] the Bluetooth™ feature is enabled, perfect for consumers on the move. To top off these qualities, its large 2.8” inch screen gives off crystal clear images making viewing multimedia on the go an enjoyable experience."




If you need a phone capable of dual networks, HKC is offering some cool solutions. The W1000 offers one GSM and one CDMA slot and uses a 200 MHz TI OMAP850 Qualcomm 6025 CPU while the G1000 offers 2 GSM slots and a 200 MHz TI OMAP850 Dragonfly CPU. Both will feature 256 MB ROM and 64 MB RAM, a 2 MP macro-enabled camera, a micro SD memory card slot for adding up to 4GB storage space and WorldCard Mobile software for managing business cards. These are described as the first two in the HKC 1000 series, so there may be more to come. It will be interesting to see how much this costs when it hits the market through resellers or carriers.
