To tell you the truth, although you are a "living example" I don't think many people use the sim card, and to be honest, the sim card sucks and is very limited. Furthermore, saving your info on the sim is bad, because it's not backed-up, you should probably store it somewhere you can backup from and then sync to all your phones. Though that's only my pov. :) As for a solution, Heinervdm is working on a nice GUI sim manager to sync sim with opimd in a relatively easy manner, please wait for that and say if it's ok. Sorry for the inconvenience, -- Tom.
