Someone I know just got the CAT phone mainly for the built in thermal imaging and as he breaks things regularly, and the thermal imaging has already stopped working properly and I don't think it's sorted yet.

Well I've had the Mann phone just over 3 weeks now and it seems to do the job for the money. The dual sim thing is quite a bonus, ok it doesn't have some of the finer points of the htc one it replaced and is quite a lot chunkier but the battery lasts and it is a bonus for me to actually use the screen when it's raining.
I'm not regretting buying it.

Thanks for the update. That phone does look interesting for the money.
Regarding the dual SIM.. are they active at the same time or do you have to select between and the other. For example if you had a work number and personal number can you receive a call on either number, or is only one active at a time?

My Moto G with two sims they're both active all the time. There are various different ways the phone will do it but to the user unless you have very specific needs they all pretty much work the same.

On mine, if someone calls either number then the phone will ring. I choose which SIM it uses for mobile data, and when I call or text someone for the first time then it will ask which SIM I want to use and if I want to remember the choice. If I try and call someone with SIM 1 but there's no reception then it will ask me if I want to try with SIM 2 instead. Texts and calls from both SIMs go in to the same list but there's a little marker to say which one it came in on.
