So, aside from the HTC One S and the HTC Desire C, the company also launched their very first dual-SIM Android smartphone — the HTC Desire V.
The Desire V will have a dual-SIM, dual-Standby feature. However, only the 1st SIM will have 3G (HSPA) capabilities while the 2nd SIM can only do GPRS.
HTC Desire V specs:
4.0-inch LCD @ 480×800 pixels, 233ppi
Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon 1.0GHz Cortex-A5
Adreno 200 graphics
512MB RAM
4GB internal storage
dual-SIM card
HSPA
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 3.0
GPS w/ aGPS support
5MP rear camera
Beats Audio
FM Radio tuner
Li-Ion 1650mAh battery
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Suggested retail price of the HTC One V is Php16,990. According tot he GM of HTC Philippines, the positioning here is that all of the Desire series are supposedly priced lower than any of the HTC One series.
The Desire V is a bit more expensive than the One V because it’s a new product and the One V has been in the market for a while. Eventually, the Desire V will be more affordable than the One V.

Just got this model and i’m glad i went back to HTC.. Luv the dual-sim and androids full advantage compare to other OS… this phone rocks!!! better get it to memoxpress celphone shop sm megamall because their technical assistance and after sales service is superb!!!
looks like the dual sim ive been waiting for. lols
Nabasa ko sa website ng htc na “not dual active” pero “dual standby”. Ano ibig sabihin nun?
Ibig sabihin, kapag may kausap ka sa isang SIM, closed yung network ng isang SIM. Kapag SMS, ok lng. Ibig sabihin din, closed yung isang SIM kapag nagi-internet ka using the other one.
I’ve had it with HTC. My current HTC phone (Desire Z) will be my last one. They keep on spewing units with hardware that’s only good until the next Android update. So, yeah, this one is on ICS already, but it will only take you until Jelly Bean, then it won’t be able to make the cut for the next update.
I hope you can write up a review about this phone soon.
Available na po ba ito Sir Abe kasi I read somewhere na first week of July pa daw… :|
I want to have this as soon as possible… I’ll sell my One V for this kahit na, spec-wise, di gaanong kagandahan compared sa One V… But, smartphone na dual-sim??!!! aaahhh… A must have for those, like me, who are using multiple sim cards… :)
