Three years ago, a friend of mine had an urgent need for two SIM-cards at the same time, he was the owner of i-Mate Jam. Then he had no choice left to buy an adapter, which after the "cutoff" one of the "simok, installed two cards in the device appeared to choose which of them will be active. To change the cards had to reboot the device. If my friend needed this functionality today, I would advise to pay attention to the Glofiish DX900, equipped with two GSM-radio modules that can operate in parallel and independently from each other.
This article reflects only the first impressions of using Glofiish DX900 - a full review will come soon. Of design and functionality DX900 almost completely repeats the flagship Glofiish - Model X900. Added a second GSM radio module, the materials have changed a little, but the size and weight of the device remained virtually the same.
Appearance has not undergone great changes. For registration of the front plastic is used: glossy on the sides of the communicator and the usual matte around the function keys. The number of buttons under the screen remains the same - here again, making buttons and cancel the call, the joystick in this model was replaced with a four-key with the confirmation button, inscribed in the center - they are all painted in silver.

The entire back panel is made of a soft-touch plastic - a velvety material that is pleasant to the touch, but such coverage attracts fingerprints. At the top, surrounded by a low rim, is a module of 3-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash and a self-portrait mirror. To the right is the speaker, taken away and the grid is divided into two parts, a small rim. All of these bumpers are the "legs", which will be based communicator, being laid on the table screen up.

On the right side, top to bottom, arrange the following elements: power button, reset hole (soft reset), memory card slot microSD (covered with a plastic cap) and a button camera. Even lower in the lower right corner is the stylus holder. Needless Pen - Telescopic, medium size, to use it comfortably.

On the left is eye strap, below it are two keys for volume control, programmable under them, small size, the button - you can put a team on the retention and depression. Almost at the very bottom is 2.5mm headset input.Included in the delivery of headphones, of course, very high-quality sound no different. However, for the "background" music in the subway, and as a headset to communicate quite amiss.

Glofiish DX900 supports communication standards UMTS / HSDPA and GSM / EDGE. It should be noted that only one of two modules, supports 3G-standard - remember this when you choose which SIM-card into a module set. An important parameter of any two-module devices - battery life. There is cause for concern. The fact that the communicator is equipped with battery capacity 1530mAch - exactly the model were equipped X900. On first impressions, drain the battery pretty quickly, even in cases where the conversations and interaction with the communicator is not very much. However, only thorough testing will be able to dot the "i" - we describe in detail the duration of work in different modes.

Glofiish DX900 is designed on a platform Samsung S3C6400 (architecture ARM11) with processor speed 533MHz. RAM in a 128MB device, including programs about 70Mb free. Number of flash-memory is 256MB, about 150MB user available. DX900 inherited from the X900 a great screen with a resolution of 640x480 pixels, 2.8 inches diagonal, with wide viewing angles and a decent supply of brightness. As the shell is used focused on the management of your fingers Spb Mobile Shell. It is noteworthy that some time ago, developers of E-Ten talked about plans to create its own version of the interface-based management of your fingers, but still use the product SPB Software House. Managing your fingers really easy and fun, but only "within" the envelope. As soon as there is a need, for example, type an SMS-message, it is necessary to use a standard keyboard and stylus. That's why you can not with certainty be called DX900 full tachfonov.

Subjective impressions of the device volume and quality of the reception the following: speakers loud enough to hear the melody in a bustling shopping center, vibrate average force - the best result is likely prevented the massive case. The reception quality is high, the present level - many interlocutors in conversation pointed out the excellent hearing.
