Finally, international travelers’ most sought after mobile feature has been answered by TechFaith with its Twins dual sim mobile phone. Twins is touted as the world’s first dual mode phone, where you can load WCDMA and GSM SIM cards.

If you are an international business traveler who frequently go from one country to another, the Twins mobile phone is the perfect gadget for you. With the Twins mobile phone, you don’t have to worry of having it set for international roaming with your mobile carrier. All you have to do is buy both WCDMA and GSM SIM cards and loaded them up into your Twins mobile phone dual SIM card holder.

WCDMA or Wide Band Code Division Multiple Access is a third-generation high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that use the TDMA or GSM technology worldwide. This is the data service used by United States carriers AT&T and T-Mobile. On the other GSM offers slower speeds than WCDMA. This is the data service commonly used in Asian countries and other parts of the world.

Aside from its dual SIM capacity, Twins is also your usual mobile phone with features such as a 2.0 megapixel camera which is decent enough for taking snap shots of interesting place you’ve been to, an mp3 and mpeg4 player to entertain you during flights and waiting time at the airports, a WCDMA modem for internet connectivity, video calling and Bluetooth capability for fast file transfer and wireless connectivity.

Other than these features, what is left to be said about the Twins is that being a dual SIM mobile phone is enough reason to own it. Twins will be available sometime in November for the European and Asian mobile market. While for the United States it will be available only for mobile carriers that use CDMA technology such as Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel and other carriers.
