FOMA, being a WCDMA service supports the next generation SIM card, called a
UIM. It will be interesting to see if there is backward compatibility for
the WCDMA phones to use current generation SIM's as well. Since WCDMA phones
are supposed to be dual-mode phones that will run both on WCDMA and existing
2G and 2.5G networks, this should in theory be possible.

Is FOMA using/supporting SIM cards?
