There are cards similar to SIM cards on CDMA handsets, these are
called RUIM cards. Although it is possible to have CDMA phones without
any cards at all. Not sure about Verizon since I am not based in US.
But ADP1 will only work on GSM phones, not CDMA.

Ken, seriously. SIM cards are used by GSM networks. Verizon uses
CDMA technology, which doesn't use SIM cards. The G1 Android (a GSM
device) will never, ever, ever work on a Verizon network. Wrong
technology. You can't get there from here.
There probably isn't a reason that Verizon can't make an Android phone
for their network however. (although I know that pre-Google days one
of Android's original goals was to make a better GSM hardware stack --
I don't know if that got dropped somewhere along the way, or if GSM is
built into the specification for Android)

I'm not sure how it would work without one. I have a Motorola Razor
with
Verizon. There's a small card in the back, below the battery. Is
that
not the SIM card?
Would kind of imply that the Android would not work on Verizon's
network.

If I understand previous posts, a Verizon SIM card won't work in
the G1 or
Developer phones. Is that correct? If so, not all SIM cards work.

A phone needs a SIM card in order to work. You'll have to buy one,
from a carrier.
Unlocked means that you can buy any SIM that you want, ATT, T-
Mobile, etc., and it will work in the phone. A locked phone will
only
work with the with a SIM from the company that sold you the phone.
The phone is not a brick. There are instructions around, for
getting
it running, with just the USB cable. After you follow them, you
will
be able to use Apps, Wireless, GPS, etc., just not the phone.

I am new to programming for Android and Mobile. Got the Android
Dev
Phone 1 and says it it will come Sim and Hardware unlocked.
Now I get the phone and instruction #2 says insert your Battery
and
Sim Card.
Well I thought I didn't need a Sim Card? Says it was unlocked?
So I put in battery and no Sim Card. So I start the phone and it
says,
No Sim Card. No Sim Card In Phone. I hit the Menu button and
nothing
happens. Open up the keyboard and nothing happens.
I know I am a newbie, but am I missing something? Do I need a
sim card/
cell phone plan subscription?
Right now I have an artist who is working on a background for a
application. I want to test to see how it would look on the
phone.
But how do I do this? I does not come with instruction book, is
there
a place online that explains this a bit?
