3 UK gets into bed with the Nokia Ovi store
Rating: You need a Symbian ^3 phone, like the X7, to benefit though

As such, phones that take two (or more) SIM cards are essential for someone who wants coverage across the entire country. There are only two companies that deal in both standards in India – and one of them is moving towards control from Japanese telecoms giant NTT DoCoMo.
