Eric - What is a logical SIM/UIM? I don't know of any particular reason that CDMAOne family couldn't build phones with SIMs (albeit not interchangable with GSM SIMs) although to my knowledge it hasn't been done. They would just have to put the S/N in the removable card instead of hardcoding it in the phone? Given that NTT DoCoMo is not currently using GSM SIMs what is the need for backward compatibility?

Personally, although I find the concept of a SIM kind of cool, I have to admit I don't see the big need. What am I missing?

Clark

PS These are real questions, not sarcasm. I have an opinion, but always looking for more info.
