SIM Cards are finally here..... "The ZTE phone to be unveiled on Monday is the first CDMA phone in the world containing a Subscriber Identification Module, or "SIM card", the Qualcomm executive said. SIM cards, about the size of a thumbnail, can be moved easily from handset to handset, allowing subscribers to switch phones without losing their original phone number and service plan. CDMA phones sold in other markets have permanent phone numbers, a potentially fatal inconvience in China, where many consumers switch handsets almost as fast as they change hats. "
