whats the sim card for?

whats the sim card for in the phone? Seems to hold an address book thats separate from my main address book. Any point in trying to move my addresses/contacts to it?

It is for out of country use on GSM networks.

what demonlordoftheround said. it's only if you are going out of the country and you want to use sprint's international roaming (not advisable..too expensive).

and yes...a sim card can hold contacts info in it. you can try to copy your contacts in your sim but what's the point. it'll only copy over one contact number/info per contact. plus...if you copy them to your sim, when you view your contacts, it will pull up any contact info you have saved in your phone as well as in the sim. so you'll be seeing double entries for each contact. more of a headache really to copy contacts on it.

its totally useless then... kinda stinks that i have to remove the contact tab from my screen since clicking it brings up the sim contacts, not the other one. Would be nice if in MightyRom it would just skip the sim and go to what I guess must be the HTC contact app instead so i can get to the contacts quicker. currently i have the contact as a quick link on the home screen which works, but, seems to me the ROM could do that one little thing for me.

Unless your a buisness man or tend to travel outside the US alot then it is pointless.

I don't even have mine in my phone anymore (had to remove it to data connect in XDandroid)

Basically in everyday life it just gets in the way.
