New 2010 iphone? - Page 9

Aye, just a SIM swap will do it

Yes, that's how I did it last time. The rumours this time are that the new iPhone will have a micro SIM though.

If by nokia you mean symbian, there is nothing wrong with symbian! I'm using it right now, chose my E52 OVER an iPhone and a HTC android phone! It really is fantastic

Why are apple pushing micro sims? It's just an inconvenience...

Arse! Might be trickier then. 'Spose I could just suck it up and get yet another new number...

Although there is a caveat regarding the size so it may or may not actually work.

No idea what it's called. But every since nokia did "smartphones" I just didn't get on with them. Then again I've always been a SE person... until the iphone came about!

Maybe it's an attempt to stop people unlocking them and using other SIM cards?

That'd work if the iPad wasn't unlocked already. Really can't think of a good reason - especially in the case of the iPad.

I couldn't possibly comment on Symbian given that their ex-CEO will be my boss next week, but I have an aversion to anything Nokia.

However, WinMob is dire. I ditched it 9 months ago and now wish I'd done that a whole lot sooner (I'd have got far more use out of an iPhone 2G).

Like some kind of security through obscurity? We all know that would be pathetic as in reality both sim cards have the same size contact area so its just about how well you can trim with a sharp knife?

True, but I'd be surprised if the next iPhone doesn't use these smaller SIMs too, so it'd make sense that Apple was using the same parts for both iPad and iPhone.
Why buy/have made two different types of SIM socketry when you can simply use the same type on all your SIM dependant devices?
