Surface Pro Duo Dual SIM

We all saw the unveil of the new Surface devices coming soon, right? I feel like the Surface Duo is tailor made for the on the go business professional who really can get everything done from their Surface Duo with its capabilities. The one thing that I'm sure it's missing is Dual SIM capabilities. What do you think? I have multiple phone numbers and carry two phones, both an iPhone Xs Max and Galaxy Note 8. I'd love to downsize that into 1 and have two SIM's in the Surface Duo.

Surface Duo has a physical Nano SIM. AT&T locked SKU will have eSIM disabled while the Open market SKU will support Dual SIM single available (physical SIM and eSIM) – so only one SIM for calls, texts, data can be active at one time.

For more information about switching between SIM data plans see, Set up a mobile data connection on Surface Duo.

    I've gone down to one phone after having a Windows phone as my personal phone and an android for work. I am now using the android for both as its dual sim. I soo want the duo when it comes out next year, but I certainly don't want to be carrying around the equivalent size of 3 phones (2 with the duo screens and 1 additional phone). I really really hope this is something they have considered. I really don't like my current Samsung but they now come standard as dual sim, this should be standard for the duo as well.
