I might actually pay for a feature like that:-- the ability to switch from T-Mobile to Credo using the same hardware.

SIM cards are generally free, though (in Europe, at least). I agree it's a time-saving feature, but if I want to switch from, say, Vodafone to O2, all I need to is to go to the O2 web site, or call into one of their shops, and get an O2 SIM.
