Good successors with SIM

I love my Desire Z but it's getting old and slow. I noticed that many cool new qwerty phones are being released in the USA like the Motorola Photon Q and the new Samsung galaxy Relay. Here in Europe, phones work with sim cards. I could be wrong in this, but I noticed that all these new phones have their sim-card soldered on the board, so I couldn't use it with my own provider if I wanted to.
Are there currently any worthwhile qwerty Android phones (at least a good dual core) out there or coming soon that have a SIM card slot?

The galaxy relay is GSM and has a sim slot

Sweet! I see it has been rooted, as well. I'll pick one up next time I'm in the States.

Make sure to check the bands so you'll know if it runs on your carrier

LTE mfr, do you use it?
Jk, but HTC has said that the reason the other markets are abke to get all those goodies is because they don't have LTE radios.

SMH -_- its because LTE radios are larger/more expensive. So they had the money to include an SD card reader.

Ugh. Seriously?
Everybody knows that the most common frequencies for LTE like 1900 MHz interfere with the delicate I/O of SD cards.
Jeez.
And nice word play at the end there.

[Q] N9005 Dual Sim Adapter

Hi All,
I just purchased a dual sim adapter from Magic Sim for my Note 3 N9005.
The problem is, it can only keep one sim active at a time.
My question is, are there any application available in Android ?
It does not fulfill my purpose of having two sim cards active at the same time, My intention is to use one sim for calling and other for only data.
If anyone has any ideas please help me out.

Nope you will need to get the duel sim version or if your with orange or EE in the UK i know they can add a 2nd line to your current contract or you maybe able to set up call divert from one sim to the other :^)

I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as a 4G dual sim model.
At least the Dual SIM models I've seen myself are 3G ONLY...
Certainly if it's exynos there will be no 4G
just FYI

I know I can always forward calls but my purpose of having two active sims doesn't fulfill. My second sim is only a data sim card. I wanted to usr my second sim for data plan. I have seen other Android dual sim phones that give option to choose data plans from a particular sim. I thought it was going to be similar..
Their products website does say it supports 4g and I can use it too but only one sim. So if I switch to my data sim then I can use 4g but my phone calling sim gets switched off.
I was looking for an application that can help me keep both my sim cards active.

Yes, but you can use only one sim at a time.

There are BT units available which allows 3 or 4 sim active, but only supports gsm, if you need 4g, the main usim will go into the phone.

I send a message to their technical support team. They replied as
"Yes you can although you will need to get your phone unlocked first"
Therefore i need to unlock my note 3 SCL22, before buying dual SIM adapter.

i bought the q-sim and the only problem that i have is to restart the phone to change sim card.

(Suggestion) Only for Indians.

Here is the tip do not buy the HTC one sprint version if you wanna use it in india.
Yes it can be sim unlocked but I still advise you to stay away from it instead of HTc one sprint, buy Htc one 801e or HTC One 801n HTc one verizon.

for CDMA use? or for GSM?
assuming your refering to the VM cdma 816...
as for GSM,seems the phone is either too well locked down,or lacking the correct physical hardware. at the end of the unlocking thread,there was a post stating that the phone had errors after attempting to add GSM bands. i went thru every process i could find a few days ago,without any success. i could not even get to a point that the phone didnt give me the sim card error. i finally gave up and sold it to a friend to use on virgin mobile.
there are a couple people using a cdma sim,and that seems to be working fine. so you may be able to add something there.
if youre refering to adding bands to a gsm model,id venture to guess that would be possible,and am interested also to hear anyones experience with that.

Thank you for sharing. I was referring to adding gsm lte bands to European model desire 816 need Canadian frequencies
