“Various accessories and technological talents for them always enhance usage experience. Both handsets come with support for A2DP and handle all popular stereo-headsets hands-down, what is more, either of the companies offers a wide range of extras for its music-centric solutions – speakers, headsets, cables and so on, so rest assured you will have a lot of gadgets at hand to entertain yourself. Now as regards to the sales packages. All in all, they are very similar, but the N81 8Gb comes bundled with a remote control, whereas the W960i doesn’t. Furthermore, the W960i couldn’t get along with the HPM-82, and we have no idea when the HPM-90 that will work is set to land in local stores.” Read this great review here:

HKC launch World’s First dual SIM Windows Mobile Smartphones
“After Samsung’s dual-SIM D780 the other day, I thought it’d be a while before we saw another new handset capable of operating two cellular accounts simultaneously, but HKC (not a typo) have surprised me with what they’re calling the world’s first dual-SIM Windows Mobile smartphones. The design of the W1000 and G1000 (the former being dual CDMA and GSM, the latter dual GSM) may not light any new aesthetic fires, but their functionality is reasonable: a 200MHz Qualcomm CPU, 256MB ROM and 64MB RAM, microSD slot and USB, crowned by a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen.Of course, the real reason we’re interested is the ability to not only have two SIM cards fitted but to access them at the same time (or, in the case of the W1000, registered to a CDMA account as well as have a GSM SIM in place), including being able to separately deactivate one or the other from the Windows Mobile interface. That way you could keep your personal account active (just in case your pregnant wife is about to give birth) but avoid the office calling you by turning off your business account. Both versions are apparently available now, with 2-megapixel cameras, Bluetooth (with the A2DP wireless stereo profile) and the usual WM office suite. No WiFi or GPS, which HKC lose marks for, though there is a dedicated stock market hotkey.” via slashphone.com
