We’ve known for a while that Nokia is planning on getting into the Dual SIM (GSM) market for sometime now.

There’s no official word of such a handset from the company, so naturally there are no details about when we can expect it or what kind of price tag it would bare. If I had to guess, I’d estimate it would be in the Rs. 5,000 to 7,000 price range.
