Well, there's a SIM remote access thing that might or might not be supported by the modem Jolla used on their phone. If such thing is available, it could get exploited.

That's exactly the problem with this OH concept: you can't do everything via a "USB" 4 pin connector.

Samsung is coming with dual SIM, one for voice / GSM and whatever the operator supports, and WiMAX - when they provide coverage. You will soon find phones that run both CDMA for Verizon and GSM for AT&T in the US, but the Chinese has their own S-WCDMA that they support. It is just software now and two separate "ways" makes it easier to write the code, the radio interface definition is located on the SIM.
