N8 Fail - Reasons Why the Nokia N8 Sucks
"Utter rubbish. Take a look at the RF chipset - that’s perfectly capable of hot-swapping a SIM. So, yes, it is a software problem."

To be fair, the specs for the GPU in the N810 says it can clock at 700MHz (iirc) but actually doing so makes the hardware unstable, so that might actually be a lie.

Then again, I bet Symbian doesn't expect the SIM to be hotswapped, and changing Symbian is a lot of effort. :)

A fair point - capable hardware needs to be combined with suitable software. I just don’t understand why you’d make a hot-swap SIM port and *not* update the firmware.  There are plenty of dual SIM mods for Nokia phones - I don’t know how Symbian copes with them.
