Having a dual SIM phone is one of those subjects that more than likely doesn't get much thought, although many folk would probably like one. The concept is certainly not a new one and for years now dual SIM devices have been cropping up in some regions around the world, but it seems that it has never taken off with any of the top end smartphone manufactures as far as I'm aware.
With BlackBerry releasing the Passport and Classic this year I was interested to hear your thoughts on whether a dual SIM variant would be a good idea? For the average consumer I suspect it's of no interest whatsoever, but for enterprise customers I'm thinking it could be a winner.
With BES10 being deployed in so many large business organizations around the world, many of these folk will be carrying their own smartphone too in addition to the corporate BlackBerry. Would it not make sense for them to have the option to just carry one phone with two SIM cards in?
With enterprise users having BlackBerry Balance on their devices - giving them work and personal space, surely the next progression and the ultimate solution would be dual SIM? Or am I barking up the wrong tree here? Let us know your thoughts in the following poll please?
As usual we'll share the results with you in the next couple of days. And please pass on to your friends to vote too. Remember - these two new BlackBerry 10 devices may well tempt some people back to BlackBerry.

Many people wouldn't consider buying the device SIM free purely because it means paying for the handset in full, up front - something that most people in this day...
From the forums: The BlackBerry PlayBook 10 concept and this one looks a real beauty
Currently, as far as we know, another PlayBook isn't on the cards anytime soon for BlackBerry. That doesn't stop our CrackBerry forum members from wanting a new and improved BlackBerry 10 tablet though. Andreas Kimishis1 has come up with yet another concept and I must say that it looks glorious. Since BlackBerry confirmed that the original PlayBook would not a get BlackBerry 10 update...
From the forums: Another BlackBerry Windermere concept
Judging by the amount of comments we seem to get on our concept posts it would appear that seeing what we may or may not get from BlackBerry in the future is rather popular. The above concept arrived the other day from form member ummie4 and while it looks pretty darn sweet I'm not sure we'll see a design like this go into production. The big difference here compared to other Q30/...
From the forums: The BlackBerry Xotica Concept
Concept time again and yet another sweet looking design from CrackBerry forum member Ziro1. His Xotica concept looks wonderful both as an all-touch device and also with the famous BlackBerry hardware keyboard, but where we see some big changes with this one is in terms of the notification LED. With this concept it's no longer at the top of the BlackBerry but now at the bottom where...
