Hi all,

I just found this:
http://www.bellpepper.eu/en/index.php
This phone has dual SIM capability, but not only can 2 SIMs be inserted (there are already "splitters" for this), they are both active at the same time (i.e. two HF units)!
I've been looking for soemthing like this for quite some time, but of course this is not an open phone.
So, would it be feasible to add such capability to later versions of the Neo? Most likely GTA03 already has a feature freeze (or has it?), but maybe for the next revision.

Any thoughts?

Another thing that should perhaps be added in the future is NFC (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_Field_Communication) which might become very important - in the moment there are very few devices capable of this.
To address possible security issues, the NFC hardware should perhaps be activated and deactivated by a simple dedicated button or even only active when a button on the side of the phone is actively held down and deactivated as soon as this button is released.
See the wikipedia entry for security considerations.

Cheers
