Anyone using another phone with the iPhone?

[harlonpepper]

I mean swapping SIMs in and out. I'm a little frustrated with the battery life and would like something basic for when I know I'm not going to need all the goodness (out on a hike, etc. though it's hard to imagine not wanting all the goodness anytime.)

Anyone have suggestions for a good second? Thanks!

Any basic unlocked phone would do fine. I can see this as a reasonable idea for myself as well considering my field frequently has me working in very hands on (read: dirty) workshops. I've got the phone I had before I bought my iPhone, a Sony Ericsson K600i.

Consider this (no experiences):

I use my 8525 for internet sharing. When im at work, it really comes in handy to have the internet sharing handy.

I tried my SIM card in some crappy old Nokia phone just for the hell of it and it worked fine.

Using the new iPhone 3g sim card to the Old iPhone?

Can I use the new iPhone 3g sim card and insert it in the old iPhone and will it work?

numerous threads on this very same question, the answers are always the same.
Yes for everyone but Canadian iPhone owners swapping the sim into and outta iphone/other phone works flawlessly.

Not in Canada here and I had the same problem as the other posters...SIM would not work in my old iPhone.

Ah well. Bummer.
