Yes, Samsung is going all guns blazing to encounter the Symbian-40 Qwerty phone Nokia C3 released by Nokia recently. Samsung has gone one step ahead by announcing that Samsung Ch@t 322 will feature a QWERTY keypad with dual sim working at the same time. This phone will also give easy access to social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Gtalk, MSN and Yahoo. Samsung Ch@t 322 will be useful for those who are looking for a branded dual sim Qwerty phone as until now we have seen only local brands like Karbonn, Spice, Micromax, etc come up with dual sim mobiles with Qwerty keypad. With the amount of people strongly attracted towards dual sim phones, this phone is sure to find buyers ranging in budget category as we think that this phone will be lighter on pockets as compared to its main competitor Nokia C3. However this phone lacks 3G and Wifi connectivity so it will be interesting to see how this phone fares in Indian mobile industry with the 3G launch of private providers a footstep away. This phone is supposed to launch in Russian market next month after which it will be launched in CIS, Southeast Asia, India, China, Middle East, and Africa.
