Aus, you stated that:That way it is easy to upgrade older phones with the equivalent of a smart card insertion rather than a hardware exchange which is labor intensive and adds complexity for the design engineers. All the phonemaker Nokia,Motoroal et all will see a slow down in sales. They prefer that you get a new handset. Design engineers will be umemployed. Profit will go down etc. Most SIM does not require FLASH. ALL the handphone so far do not need FLASH. except the bulky NOKia made for email that have the size of a BRICK. Supposedly, it breaks down a lot despite having FLASH.
