Quad-SIM (4 in 1)

Quad-SIM (4 in 1)

Wonder how we will handle the examination of this beast? Which profile will need to be read first? Will the handset have different profiles? Will each SIM have its own password?  There are so many question this news story raises. Previous experience has shown care is needed with handling the examination of handsets containing two (dual) SIMs (http://sim2usim.blogspot.com/2008/11/cloning-test-sim-cards.html).
