Paul Walsh, the Irish Opportunist

There’s a rumour going around Apple releasing the new iPhone with a built-in SIM. If this were true, it would prohibit customers from swapping with other SIMs, like MAXroam for example - to avail of cheap roaming charges. For me, it would mean the end of my live video streaming with Qik on the Nokia N95. I don’t just swap SIMs, I also swap phones to avail of different features. So, the impact would have been quite significant for a lot of people. So severe, it would have stopped me from opting for the free upgrade in July when it hits the UK market.

The good news is that the rumour is not true. I’ve taken the image, which clearly shows the SIM tray, from the official Apple Web site.
