Hi all,
I love to tinker and have been a regular on these forums since the early days of smartphones (long before android and ios)....suffice it to say I love to tinker with my tech.
Ok so here is the problem... After months of biding my time it looks like its time to get an HTC One.....and on research I've discovered my best option price wise was actually import it....and that the versions from Japan (Made in taiwan), China, and ?india? have Dual Sims, whereas those from HK, like those I could buy here in the shops in the UK take only one SIM.
Now it would seem a no-brainer that I should go for the dual sim option especially as I have two separate sims - one for work and one for play.
HOWEVER, I will want to root my phone immediately upon getting it and will DEFINATELY want to install custom firmwares in the near future.....
And so the question....never having owned a dual sim phone in the past.....Will these phones take the same firmware and then a little setting up with custom apps? Or will I need completely different custom firmwares? and if so is the CFW cooking scene as good for the dual sim version? (also I only read English and Spanish so I'm a little worried that I may not be able to read the pages where any dual sim firmwares might be posted).....
This would be a complete deal-breaker for me and I'd be forced to go with the single-sim option.
I've searched and cannot locate a clear answer to this question! All help much appreciated!!!
