Verizon is now defiantly my favorite USA telco company: FiOS, Not carrier-locking their phones, and now 4G. Glad to see a company that cares about progress and increasing customer bandwidth rather than cutting corners and counting pennies.
SIM cards are *always* accessible by the user. I have often encountered people who claim that their Verizon / Sprint phone has a "SIM Card" but it's hidden and not accessible. This is not true, CDMA networks in the USA do not use any kind of user-swappable identity module (I have seen CDMA networks in India that do BTW).
Also, if it wasn't user/Verizon employee accessible, then why are they manufacturing cards?

Microsoft first needs to get their game together and create a media extender app for streaming TV tuner cards over your network. Don't know whether they hold out on this to force people into buying 360's and extenders...
If you did, you would know that the game is made by Hasbro, which owns Wizards of the Coast. Wizards of the Coast published the Pokemon TCG series and the Magic TCG.
So they have more experience than ANY other company, and have "crucial skills" to spare.
