Abstract
A hardware-capability update method for a portable device with at least first and second SIM cards is provided. The method includes detecting whether a hardware capability for a first SIM card has to be responded to a requesting terminal; determining whether the hardware capability for the first SIM card can be responded immediately; transmitting the information about hardware capability to the requesting terminal when the hardware capability for the first SIM card can be responded immediately; and storing the information about pending updated hardware capability when the hardware capability for the first SIM card cannot be responded immediately.
