Nokia is finally succumbing to the trend of manufacturing dual SIM mobile handsets, a trend which was started long ago by shanzhai manufacturers.

If If the latest report from a Nokia Russia official  is to be believed, Nokia will be launching their own dual SIM phones by the second quarter of  2010. However, it's not clear whether Nokia is going to integrate the dual SIM slot in a single handset or if they are going to launch a new series of mobile phones with a dual SIM slot feature.

Samsung and LG have already followed the shanzhai trend by launching their own series of dual SIM mobile phones.
