nope. CDMA (sprint/verizon) phones use a CDMA network to do their stuff. the only reason a sim card is used is to enable the world phone function. you can take your phone overseas and it will connect to a GSM network that a particular provider has an agreement with. otherwise the sim function is practically useless unless you back up your contacts on them. there is an app you can download from the app market that will allow you to boot your android with a sim card in it and transfer your contacts, but you have to boot to android without a sim card and download the app, (or with sim card using wifi) then power off, put sim card in, boot back to android, power off, remove sim, then back to android.
pain in the butt but if you dont wanna sync with Gmail, one of the few alternatives.
