... HTC recognise the fact that it's too big to be used as a phone, they're not silly.

probably more to do with the fact that nearly everyone in the east has more than one phone which is why dual sim phones are so popular over there, HTC are trying to get both handsets, for some reason dual sim are unheard of in the west, a friend of mine carries four phones with him all the time over there.

You're such a ****, I post a picture of a Bluetooth handset, and someone try's to tell me it's because of dual sims. Where on a Bluetooth handset are you going to put a sim. Easier to understand now Cockforger?

You asked where a 2nd sim would go, I showed you an example. I fully understand why it would be completely alien to you, if Apple doesn't do this then surely it can't exist, right? Plus the idea has already been patented by someone else.

if you read the article and what scooby soon replied ,it look like he's not read it properly as the second htc phone wont have a simcard and it will be paired with the htc smarrt phone NFC or BT.

so jack was questioning where he was going to put a sim in a BT only phone..........



not sure who the div is here

Ah right, that explains why JC posted a link to a dual sim case for an iPhone 4.

Calm down girls I only skimmed over the article! I would actually like to buy one of those HTC minis with a Sim slot as it would be perfect for my dad, I think they have missed a trick not having a Sim slot.
