We already knew that Nokia is gearing up to launch Dual SIM phones under the new C series. The need for the same comes from competitors like Samsung already taking the dual-SIM route and at the same time increasing competition from chines local phones and local manufacturers like MicroMax, Lava, Karbon etc. India has given a huge reception to chinese phones with little quality but features like a loud speaker (really loud!) and dual SIMs.
