Separation of Personal and Professional

As convenient as smartphones and tablets are for receiving and sending information on the go, they have helped blur the line between work and home so that for some it is hardly recognizable as a line.  ViewSonic attempts to put a little distinction back into your life with its ViewPhone 3 – the phone with two SIM card slots.

While the ViewPhone 3’s other specifications (Android 2.3, 3.5-inch display, 5-megapixel camera) are fairly average for smartphones, this phone would let you separate the personal and professional aspects of your life.  For example, a text message could be sent from either SIM from the same composition screen.

ViewSonic is the not the only company to develop a phone with a dual personality – it has pretty stiff competition from Samsung’s Galaxy Y Duos and Galaxy Y Pro Duos.  Unlike the Samsung phones which are set for an initial market release in Russia (North America doesn’t make the release list at all), the ViewPhone 3 should be available sale in the U.S. this spring.  It could be just the phone to give you a break from work – or help you hide a secret identity.
