:D, so you need to write down that key or remember it when you want to use on
another device

or if that key is provided somehow,such as pushing a request to provider to
get it using internet, then what happened when there is no connection but gsm

or imagine when you use that key for few devices? what will be your main
device and you want to suspend the others?

Many problems must be solved if you'd like to use a key instead of a SIM card

Surely I'd have more options if I could use any handset?

I'm a computer literate guy but I still end up carrying 2 handsets - one work,
one personal - most of the time because the handsets aren't truly generic.

What do you mean generic? People like different screen sizes, are willing to
pay different amounts for different amounts of storage, processor speeds, etc.

Why in the hell is Yahoo, all of the sudden, so valuable to Microsoft? Why
didn't they make this offer a year ago or six months ago? What prompted them
to suddenly, out of the blue, give them an unsolicited offer? And now that
they've essentially declined, why is Microsoft so eager to perform a hostile
takeover?

Also, why can no one give a straight answer to these questions?
