WQVGA Screen, why?? anything below VGA is an instant FAIL. with variety of options with better screen resolution I dont see this device succeeding in the market. Does anyone have any theory on what the HTC Footprints™ button is ? My take is its the navigational ring below the screen.

Are you looking for a dual sim Windows Mobile device ? DSTW1 WM Phone seems to do that that. It doesn’t have very attractive hardware specs but if dual sim is what you are after it might be worth a look. Glofiish DX900 is another choice for dual sim users which offers better hardware than the DSTW1.
