Dual SIM Android handset from Onyx coming soon

I’m sorry it’s such a blurred shot – I only managed to get hands-on with it for seconds. But I can confirm the new handset coming from Onyx is dual-sim Android. And you know what? Android looks like it handles dual-sim functionality brilliantly. I mean simply brilliantly. In the photo you can see the two signals from each network. When you want to make a call or send a text, just select the sim first.

Absolutely ideal as your ‘MaxRoam’ handset for when you’re abroad, for example.

I understand Onyx will be bringing this to market shortly and should have a solid timeframe soon. And I will get some better shots of it soon, too.

  1. heh ewan, where did you see this pic, im in shanghai and i would like to track down and source this mobile. so far ive seen NO android mobiles released by the carriers. exception being the oPhone 3g bastard child of China Mobile.

  2. I took the picture, weirdshanghai, with my Blackberry Bold (it's not got a brilliant close-up camera). I took the photo in One Alfred Place when I was having a look at the device.

  3. Does it have a Physical or a Virtual keyboard? Am I right in thinking that the only physical keyboard Android on the market right now or in the pipeline is the G1?

  4. It's a virtual keyboard, Moof. There's an HTC with a physical keyboard coming soon — and Motorola's new Android device has a physical keyboard too.

  5. Did this handset ever come to light or has this company gone under? I have not seen anythign but speculation from this company.
