    Looking to buy a dual Sim 3g android phone. Saw a Quku Horizion on lightinthebox.com which looks good. Although i want to use skype. Is it possible to load the special skype client installed on some three phones onto non three handsets?

    Problem with that phone might be its 600Mhz processor, which is pretty slow for modern smartphones.

    Is a dual sim phone really important to you? Or just something your curious about?

    With this app, will three automatically route the call as a 3g voice call as opposed to voip?

    Did you buy that phone? I would like to know if its 3G sim slot works with my 3 sim card. I am looking to buy a dual sim 3g phone so that I can use my vodafone and 3 sims together.

    I'm in the market for the same type of phone. I started another thread here with two similar phones I found which might interest you as well.

    I'm using dual SIM phones for the last 2 years.

    No real choice with regard to 3G, unfortunately. The only real model available in Europe is Samsung B7722 (http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_b7722-3362.php). I'm using it since last autumn. Not excellent but way better than Android ones. With regard to Android, again, the only available option seems GSMart from Gigabyte. I managed to get 1317 (http://www.gsmarena.com/gigabyte_gsmart_g1317_rola-3694.php) when it was released in May. In a month it peacefully died. I hate both Gigabyte and Android after that. By the way, there are 2 other 3G GSMart models.

    Now I ordered LG C310 (http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_c310-3701.php) on eBay but, alas, it's not 3G. I just want to try LG and QWERTY. I didn't get it yet though.

    I refresh this page everyday: http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?idDualSIM=1

    Can't find it anywhere on sale though.

    Well i bought the Ouko P800 Horizion. Works ok. Although the back cover and battery had to be replaced. New batteries are only lasting about a day to a day and a half. Is battery life generally this challenging for smart phones? Not accepting micro SD card. Currently contacting customer support about this. Otherwise works ok. When someone calls cannot ascertain if they are calling on sim1 or sim 2 i think,i will have to confirm this. Had to pay customs on this phone also.
