Question about the P8 dual sim

Hi there,

Just been thinking about picking one of these up.Played with it abit in my local network providers shop and Im impressed.
But my question is regarding the dual sim mode.

My network provider here in Ireland says that the phone is single sim only ,that they don't supply dual sim versions in Europe.

Now what Im wondering is if the actual hardware is the same and that a rom could be flashed similar to the P8 lite to enable dual sim mode?
Also the second sim tray doesn't seem to be physically able to take a second sim.

Is it possible that providers in Europe are
1. Only selling single sim versions if such a thing exists.
2.Selling dual sim versions with the software for dual sim disabled and a different sim tray?

Thanks for any help.

Richie
