1. What is the best all around dual chip phone out there? best bang for your buck. My brother wants one, and I may buy one for him, but i have to buy it unlocked since it's going out of the country. Nothing too expensive or fancy.

2. I'm trying to setup POP3 email on a blackberry curve, but it's not working. Anyone with expertise on this? It's a sprint phone and i've got a data plan.

tell you brother to stop sucking at life and move to america...




are you sure you have the correct pop3 settings??? we have offices that use our software to send emails.. and they never seem to have the correct pop3 server information.

yeah i've got the right pop3 settings, i mean i setup the email for them. lol

whats weird is when i go into his settings it says POP/IMAP, no POP3, so im wondering if the phone just doesnt support pop3

By dual chip, are you saying you need a device that can support 2 sim cards at once, or just an unlocked phone that accepts many different SIM cards?

What email provider are you trying to put on there?

You used one before Julio? I've had a few customers come in before all pissed off that we didn't have chargers for that knock-off shit haha. "What do you mean you don't carry Iphone chargers?!"...."Um, b/c it's not an Iphone?"......personally, I wouldn't recommend the i9, or any iPhone knock-off. That Nokia seems like a good choice :goodjob:

Get an iPhone ripoff - the CECT P168 is dirt cheap on ebay and it has dual sim slots.

Ok here the Deal with the Dual Sim Cards.
From what I have been able to find is few major manfacters are just starting to jump on broad with dual Sims. So most of the smart phones you are going to find are clones of other phones.

Samsung has realse a couple:
B5712C
B5702
D780
SGH-D880
D980
D988
W629
(that all i could find)

LG
LG-KS660(My Favorite)

Then you have the chineses clones and knockoff. Which some reveiws stay are not bad

You and convert your phone in to a daul sim phone.
