World’s First Dual SIM Card and Dual-Network Mobile Phones Pocket PC HKC W1000 and HKC G1000

Some of you out there could be actually two timing girls.Or perhaps you was wondering how could you escape your superior’s consistent nagging for you to do jobs for him.Maybe you might want to have a quiet moment with your loved ones without anyone disturbing you.If you’re familiar with dual-SIM cellphones, then you’ll feel right at home reading this post.

Chinese company HKC communications has just rolled out the world’s first dual-SIM, dual-network pocket PC, which in the end turned out to be so darn good, they had to create two. Welcome the HKC W1000 and G1000, set to take the Windows Mobile pocket PC world by storm.

HKC W1000

The HKC W1000 was designed to take advantage of dual-SIM and dual-network technology, able to work under the heavy load of two SIM cards inserted in it and gathers signal from both networks at the same time. It has a stock market hotkey, enabling users to check on stock market info and make inquiries on the fly, with other features that are fully customizable.

As a pocket PC, the HKC W1000 should be able to prove quite useful. Packing a 200MHz Qualcomm CPU, 256MB ROM + 64MB RAM, support for Micro SD cards, USB connectivity, and the usual built-in office applications (Word, Excel and Powerpoint). It’s going to run on Windows Mobile 6 for Pocket PC, has a believable 120 hour standby time, a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen and, regular PIM functions.

HKC was also kind enough to include leisurely features like a 2-megapixel camera, MP3 player, and Bluetooth A2DP for wireless headphones. It might not have a built-in flash, but the Apple iPhone doesn’t neither. A 3.5mm headphone jack? It has a data line earphone port, Jack.

And as earlier mentioned, since the world’s first dual-SIM PPC turned out to be so good that they had to make two, there is also another version, called the HKC G1000.

The HKC G1000 is presumably the English version, and the spec sheet lists much of the same features as the W1000. 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth A2DP, built-in office and PIM functions, no Wi-Fi or GPS, etc.

It still works the same kind of dual-SIM, dual-network magic as the first one, though. And you can see it in action with the video below. Here, the HKC G1000 is shown on video, demonstrating how it can have two SIM cards active at the same time during standby. You even have the option of turning off any of the two SIM cards with a stroke of the stylus. It’s not exactly genius, but I think it’s way more convenient than what’s currently available in the market.
