According to the latest news on the Web, Samsung will offer its D980 Duos LaFleur Edition in two new colors for Valentine's Day. The D980 Duos (also known as D988) will come to the market in Brown and Pink. As many of you might already know, this dual SIM touchscreen is based on the F480.

The Samsung SGH-D980 Duos comes as a great option for those who are frequent Internet users. The compact mobile phone comes with the Samsung TouchWiz User-friendly interface, which allows users to control the handset directly with their fingers, without the need of a stylus. The device allows for a range of operations to be performed, including touch, twirl, dragging, while a virtual keyboard is also present.

The mobile phone includes a 5-megapixel camera, which sports auto focus and flash, and it also comes with tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity, although there are no 3G capabilities. The D980 Duos sports a 6.6 cm TFT touchscreen display that can deliver a 240x320 pixel resolution.

Besides the fact that it support simultaneous operation of 2 SIM-cards, the handset also includes recorded video MPEG4, H.263, 15 frames / sec capabilities, FM-radio and Viewing documents functionality, along with Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0 connectivity, as well as a microSD memory card slot that supports up to 2GB of additional storage space.

Those who acquire a Samsung SGH-D980 Duos, at least in Russia, will also receive a “Mobile Coupon,” which is similar to the plastic discount cards that various retailers are known to offer. In addition, users will also receive a link to download a small Java app that will allow them to view any discount offers available and then download the mobile coupons that attract them most. To get a discount when buying something, they would only need to flash the coupon on a phone screen.
