Praks · Aug 6, 2012

Thanks bro, Damn, you will make me purchase Desire V

While making a call does it take 15-20 secs for the call to connect? Cousin mentioned that its takes quite some time to connect after clicking on call...does it take so long with you as well?

No Bro please wait don't buy it as I just checked the SAMSUNG one with same features and specs has a front cam for video calls so hold on please! and also check it out might be good competitor and may lead to some price war on both side's and you would end up the winner

I agree it's over priced but unfortunately and fortunately this is the only high end current DUAL SIM device! May other player's join and we get some good handset's in DUAL as well as single SIM variety!

Well If I use my Aircel Connection it takes time to connect but if I use my Vodafone or Airtel SIM it takes normal time any phone takes so nothing phone related! I don't face any such problem's with the phone in short it happens with Operator

I too am waiting for a good dual sim phone with front cam . Will buy the galaxy s duos the day it releases . BTW I have the micromax a80 dual sim phone with 3g video call . Phone ok but noo root support and very very low on memory . About 150 to 160 mb free with all the bloatware micromax has loaded .

@meet6600 Nice review. What i don't understand is that after writing such a good review u are selling this handset?

Reason i am asking is that i am looking for a dual sim handset but i dont like HTC Desire v "Ancient" cpu and graphics processor and i also don't like that it's not a "Dual Active" Phone.

Please enlighten me!!

Thanx

meet6600 · Sep 6, 2012

Well had planned to sell it because of the fact that I don't need DUAL SIM now and if you remove that feature the specs don't justify the price as then it should be less than 15k. But unfortunately the features it offers are beyond compare at least in 10-20k bracket like 4" screen, flashlight, adobe flash support, removable battery, micro sd card support etc. In this range what I have seen is that Phones are there waiting to get ICS Officially or miss out on 1 thing or other. Samsung has released an alternative at a nice price 17900/- but its an identical copy of my phone with only one minor difference that is front VGA CAM but one thing that is bound to make it a bestseller is RAM is unconfirmed. Some sites report it to be 768 MB that is awesome but some 512 MB which is low. Now if the samsung one has 768 MB RAM it's the best DUAL SIM for now else it's a mere copy with a low price.

And Yeah @bbfreak please understand that right now technically it's not possible to have a true DUAL ACTIVE Phone as for that a phone has to have two GSM Radio's which would never make sense as Android with DUAL GSM Radio's would be impractical and battery life would be laughable. If you are into GSM+CDMA yes h/w wise it's possible but Manufacturer's have committed a big crime by allowing Broadband Speeds on CDMA & GPRS on GSM! Till now and practically speaking DUAL SIM Active in GSM + GSM is only possible by S/W Work around that many offer. Else you need a RAZR MAXX Battery plus your requirements and believe me the phone would never come below 30k!!

And I am keeping my Desire V for now as the feature's it already has are hard to find in 10-20k Single SIM Variety! Right now as a single sim device it lacks front cam that's it! Sony has DUAL Core's but same RAM, Low Battery, small screen size, non user accessible battery etc, Motorola Atrix 2 was good but now situation is different and other players do not have any thing good. So even if now I use it in Single SIM mode it's the best for now. Please enlighten me with any comparable single SIM Device for now under 20k and you would realize how good is this.

IMO these are over priced.
It would have been justified if it had at least MSM8225 and a good amount of ROM.
Unfortunately we don't have much options here.

meet6600 · Sep 6, 2012

@leomax the magic word is options! Well also understand that these are the only one's from reputed manufacture's and also Single SIM market has wider audience so can't complain much.

In the limited DUAL SIM market at least HTC and Samsung have presented these two High End Products which had other wise options one would not consider putting money on! Agreed that they are overpriced but it's business for the companies so unless competition starts these are the options! For refernence Galaxy note's success led to a segment called phablet which every one is cashing on now. Hope more reputed manufacturer's join the DUAL SIM Smartphone Market and then we would see sensible pricing and awesome products. Till then Thank God we have these two!

leomax · Sep 7, 2012

yea,just another day in office for them.
If one can bear with the 'Look,Chinese phone!',Huawei U8825D,ZTE V970 are good options.

meet6600 · Sep 8, 2012

HTC announces One SC, SU and dual-SIM ST for China - GSMArena.com news
Look at this guys! If This gets officially annouced in India I am sure DUAL SIM would be instant hit! Only If HTC can do something!

Praks · Sep 10, 2012

Check out Samsung Galaxy S Duos - Pure awesome

meet6600 · Sep 17, 2012

Dude if it's 512 MB RAM then only + over HTC Desire V is Front CAM.

Check the Specs like HTC it's overpriced!!

meet6600 · Sep 26, 2012

Checked Samsung Galaxy S Duos! Well indeed Pure Awesome! The small time I spent it showed amazing slickness and 768 MB RAM is God send! Plus JB Support! HTC Desire V at 20k is looking very poor now. Thanks Sammy mine is obsolete within 2 months!!

And if HTC forgets JB then no good!

Praks · Sep 28, 2012

One imp point, HTC Desire V has 4 GB Int memory but it will allow you to use only 1 GB of it. God knows what HTC has installed that remaining 3 GB is not free.
Now you need to manage all your apps stuff in this 1 GB which is very very less.

Samsung Galaxy S Duos, you can use more then 3 GB of internal memory.

Hi Praks sorry for late reply but this is not at all an issue in HTC!

Reason is even though you are right that Sammy has more memory 2.2 GB out of box as internal HTC one has an option to move all applications to storage with one touch. My Friend has on Samsung Galaxy Note and constantly he faces this issue which even with an app is a pain to do and I was surprised to see that how poor is Touch WHiz UI of Sammy is as compared to HTC Sense.

- - - Updated - - -

HTC Sense UI is indeed far more advanced, Superior and User Friendly! But the con is a bit sluggishness here and there. Overall what I have seen by checking out both HTC & Samsung's Solutions its better to go with hTC as overall Sense UI & Build Quality of Desire V is miles better than what Samsung has to offer. Sure the Extra RAM and native Video Call support is handy but only for those who need it. Otherwise if you compare overall for now It's HTC as the best DUAL SIM Device.

Guys Please see the Updates as any one looking to buy new Mobile in DUAL SIM would benefit with information provided. As of now things do look brighter thanks to competition! For those who are confused between single core Samsung Galaxy S DUOS & HTC Desire V please note following points:

Advantages Samsung Galaxy S DUOS over HTC Desire V:

1) More RAM ensures smooth performance though single core processing would rear up it's ugly head.
2) Front CAM for those who need video calling (and not for those who just want it up there

)
3) Micro SD Card on the side so easy swap.

Advantages HTC Desire V or VC over Samsung Galaxy S DUOS:
1) HTC Sense UI is miles ahead than Samsung Touch Whiz
2) Easy management of Storage Space built in no need of any apps like App2SD
3) Better Battery Backup
4) Premium & Solid Build
5) Beats Audio
6) Easier Implementation of Inserting SIM cards
7) HTC fast boot

For General use both devices would work great but if you are a little bit good on tech side HTC is better product. Also at current prices it's more of usage pattern that will help you decide! Happy Buying!

Also please note that Yesterday I was surprised to see that my HTC was able to accept SIM while it was powered on no reboots!! Hot Swap may be there which is a definite advantage again!
