Interesting, but I don't think we (Finland, Northern Europe) will be affected by these changes anytime soon. I still see people with Nokia 3310 and similar, and that's not even any G and still works. In fact i have a similar (but much crappier) device myself and it still worked last time I tried. And I've never heard of "a 4G SIM card". Sounds like just more provider lock-in.

edit: Hooray for Wizzup_ and Maemo Leste and a Happy new year!
