Gigabyte GSmart Rola is a Dual-SIM smartphone with Froyo

12 December, 2010

Gigabyte is preparing to launch a dual-SIM smartphone running on Android v2.2 Froyo. It’s called GSmart Rola and it will launch on the bargain 175 euro in the beginning of 2011.

After the decent dual-SIM GSmart S1205 running on Windows Mobile 6.5, Gigabyte is ready to take their dual-SIM business over at the Android camp. The GSmart Rola runs Android v2.2 Froyo but packs barely decent specs – a 3.2-inch resistive WQVGA touchscreen, a 528MHz processor, 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM, a 3 megapixel fixed-focus snapper and a microSD slot.

The Rola’s connectivity however has everything covered – Wi-Fi, quad-band GSM, 3G with HSDPA support, GPS (with aGPS support and digital compass), Bluetooth and even FM radio. We suppose the 3G would be available only on one of the SIMs though.

Gigabyte GSmart Rola will launch in Q1 2011 in selected regions with an expected retail pricetag of 175 euro.

Yes... The WQVGA (RESISTIVE 240x400 only----one Quarter of EPIC's resolution) screen is the bad one here.. Not at all for diehard Android fans, but this is one of the first (if we do not consider wm5 phones from spice) DualSIM smartphone with 3G possible in one SIM..

I have used g smart 120 from gigabyte it's a good phone only phone I have seen with answering machine in wm6.5 platform, with features to add background sounds in real time during call.

Moreover it has TV tuner inbuilt dual battery cradle Fm radio what not, it will beat any in performance I still use it as a desktop tv, not to forget wifi and call recording (not tried)

Build is also good, will be waiting for dual sim android, DK ji mauja hi mauja
