Samsung today introduced the Galaxy Y Duos and Galaxy Y Pro Duos, a pair of Android smartphone in their Galaxy mobile series that have space for two SIM cards.
The Galaxy Y Duos is an all-touch Android 2.3 Gingerbread setup with a 3.1-inch QVGA screen, a 3-megapixel fixed-focus camera, and the Android works. It also has a 1,300mAh battery.
On the slightly higher end of the scale there’s the Galaxy Y Pro Duos, which runs the same Android version and has a full QWERTY keyboard on its candy-bar frame (that keyboard is how you know it’s “pro”). As a result, the screen is a smaller 2.6 inches. There’s a 3-megapixel camera on the back, but Samsung has also added a front-facing VGA camera and a slightly larger 1,350mAh battery.
While there’s no pricing for this yet, Samsung has shared a January release date, and a first market: Russia. The Galaxy Y Duos will then “gradually” roll out to Europe, Africa, CIS, Latin America, Southeast and Southwest Asia, the Middle East, and China. The keyboarded Pro version is headed to Europe, Africa, CIS, Latin America, Southwest Asia, and the Middle East.
North Americans looking for this type of solution are sadly going to have to keep looking for now (or start lobbying Samsung). I’m interested in seeing this in action; hopefully, Samsung brings the duo of Duos along with it to CES, just for fun.

1.Handcent SMS
Handcent SMS is a theme-based SMS system which has an iPhone-fooling green and grey bubble conversation-based mode that looks just like the iPhone. It’s also more than just a pretty face, as it brings improved security and group handling too.

2.Classic Notes Lite
The classic yellow background and light-lined writing style of the iPhone notes app is a hard one to miss, but Classic Notes Lite riffs if perfectly even down to the font and adds a whole lot more, such as sharing notes via Twitter and Google Calender support.

3.Go Contacts EX & iPhone Theme
Go Contacts EX & iPhone Theme free is pretty special as it’s a replacement contacts app that can be themed with an excellent iPhone-style skin, which frankly ends up being far better than the iOS variant. If you’ve recently switched from an iOS device then certainly the other benefit in this system will have you feeling right at home.

4.iPhone Go Launcher EX Theme
iPhone Go Launcher EX Theme is a beautiful free theme for the excellent Go Launcher EX skinning and home-screen replacement system. All the default icons, dock and wallpapers are in place to provide an authentic iPhone feel. It doesn’t have as many icons as other themes here, which is a shame but everything else looks perfect.

5.iPhone Style Folder
iPhone Style Folder works much like a number of other Android desktop folder systems but takes the classy iPhone style of grouping mini-icons within. Works via the Widget system and helps you get your home-screens back under control.

6. LockBot
The rather rough and ready looking LockBot may lack a little style but in use its iPhone themed lock-screen does the job. Once you’re bored of fooling your friends it comes with a host of other styles to choose from including a Honeycomb one.
