SIM cards are smartcards. They can not be copied by design! The only way to duplicate a SIM is to hack it. No idea if and how far that is possible. But it is certainly not legal. Ask your provider for a duplicate SIM. Many providers will give you multiple identical SIM if you need them. (At

Having a feature like this is not going to create a higher incidence of SIM theft, the technology is already out there (there are even software programs that can steel much of your key info out of the air), knowing that, you should just watch where you put your phone and keep tabs on your

That's terrific news, but short term, OpenMoko and most other open efforts have limited access to the Verizon network, which is 100% CDMA. Sigh. Bill Ian Darwin wrote: Verizon Wireless opens up In a stunning about-face, the second-largest wireless carrier in the US, Verizon Wireless, has

I was wondering if Apple negotiated something... they have an exclusive with Cingular for the current iPhone but maybe it doesn't prevent them from also selling a different phone for CDMA. And maybe they just don't like being exclusive, and wanted to have control of their own marketing/branding,

Yeh well if OpenMoko/FIC hired a decent PR team this wouldn't be an issue. Lets face it guys, OpenMoko haven't yet passed the geek/hardcore enthusiast stage. Apart from shipping 1000 units they aren't really on the open market. Hell even Savaje managed to make it that far at JavaOne in 2005.
