While Mobile 2.0 is touted to be the next big thing with 3.5 G and HSDPA as the data transfer norms, nothing much has changed in the GSM network infrastructure. Perhaps the companies feel that 'SIM' card-based GSM technology is as good as it gets. Or perhaps the CDMA technology which is more robust but needs more investment in infrastructure. So till we have newer technologies in the cell phone infrstructure space we will have to work with the 'SIM cards'. How true..
