UK's 3 to glue SIMs into pre-paid cellphones

It seems that UK provider 3, is having such a problem with their handsets being sold abroad for profit that they will begin gluing SIM cards into entry-level prepaid handsets starting this month. The SIMs will be bonded to the handset using an epoxy resin via a third party company. No worries, if it's the same epoxy associated with those CCD sensor failures then you'll still have a SIM-free phone for resale in oh, about 2 years.
