Hello,

How is everyone doing today?

So I've scoured the net looking for a cell phone with specific requirements but I can't seem to find one. So I thought to turn to TFP for some expert help!

I'm looking (for someone) for the following features in a phone:

1) Quad band
2) Touchscreen
3) QWERTY keyboard
4) Windows Mobile OS
5) Dual Active SIM cards

It's that last feature that is proving to be the issue. I mean you can see this phone (E71 Style Dual Card Windows Mobile6.1 TV WIFI JAVA Qwerty Keypad Cell Phone Black (2GB TF Card)(SZ00510111) - US$ 176.99) has almost every feature, including the dual SIM cards, except they are in standby mode not active mode. In a nutshell the difference is that active SIM mode lets you send and receive calls from both SIM networks at the same time, while standby or passive mode requires you to select which SIM card you want to use, rendering the other off until you switch back.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
