Re: SIM Cards?
Actually from what I've been reading, it sounds like with the switch to LTE, the Vodafone half is really pushing to join global standards (including SIM cards). Verizon/Vodafone wanted nothing to do with that sinking ship called WiMax

The folks at Verizon that I deal with every day are telling me that they are being trained to get out of the handset sales business entirely. |

One of the reasons that i was willing to jump from ATT to Verizon was the existence of a SIM card and CDMA/GSM and EVDO/HSDPA (UMTS)in the Blackberry Storm. Verizon was clever however in only having UMTS in the 2100 mhz frequency and not 900/1900mhz (ATT 3G) and not 1700mhz (T-mobile 3G). So you can only get 3G with EVDO in the US with Verizon (and have to settle for EDGE with ATT and T-mobile if you jump ship). And with the 2100 mhz UMTS frequency on the Storm you can still get 3G in Europe and Asia with the Storm.
