ViewPhone 3:

A dual-SIM phone, the ViewPhone 3 allows users to separate work and personal calls, providing more freedom and privacy across all networks, including GSM, EDGE and HSDPA. With a 3.5" capacitive touch display, the ViewPhone 3 is the first ViewSonic phone to arrive in Latin America -- a perfect fit for users based on research from Informa, who found that about 27 per cent of all mobile subscriptions in the region are classified as multiple subscriptions.

ViewSonic is directly addressing this market demand by enabling users to select the carrier and plan that best fits their individual use case. The ARM 800Mhz processor and Android 2.3 operating system ensure the phone brings powerful functionality to consumers. The ViewPhone 3 has an ESP of $279 and will be available in late Q1 2012.
