Dual Mode Phone from Spice Mobile

GSM and CDMA connectivity in one device

Spice Mobile has just released a mobile phone capable of connecting to the GSM and CDMA network too. The device is meant to provide solutions to a large number of people who need handsets working on both networks, with features which might prove highly useful, especially for those often traveling abroad.

The Spice Dual phone comes with two

variants: D-88 and D-80. They are both capable of supporting both GSM and CDMA active connections at the same time. Travelers operating in the local area are those who will enjoy this feature the most, as it will support communication under any circumstances and anywhere the user might find himself.

"The new phone is targeted to all who have two cell phone numbers and have been looking for a convenience of carrying just one phone, we are targeting mainly the consumers of town and rural areas. By 2010, our target in the market share will surge to 10 per cent", said Kunal Ahooja, CEO at Spice Mobile.

It looks like the company has high hopes coming from these two ideas. They might not be very innovative, but have high chances of proving to be useful in many situations, as it is surely not a pleasure carrying around two mobile phones to use depending on the area. 8 percent of subscribers in this country currently own two phone numbers, with the tendency of this being seen at an even larger scale among India phone users.

Spice Dual will be available in two variants. The D-80 can already be purchased for the price of Rs 9849, while the D-88 has not been released yet. No further specifications have been revealed about this second device. Both dual phone models will be available exclusively for the mobile phone market in India.

Spice dueal sim cdma + gsm D88n is total failure. I would advise everyone that do not waste your money in this third grade handset. I purchased phone in August 2008 and in September CDMA stopped working. At service centre they kept phone for a day and said my phone is needed to be send to delhi as this problem can not solve at this service centre. What is the mening of service centre then. Totally poor quality of service at service centres as I found many people there standing in a que waiting for their mobiles to come back from Delhi. Overall total failure product. And I guess that is why Nokia or other big companies are not coming up with such modles. Please please guys dont waste your money in spice
