Default Switching between 2 phones

I currently have a Thunderbolt and will need to get a BB for business purposes. I used to be on at&t and switched the SIM card between phones. My Thunderbolt has a SIM card due to LTE. I want to get the 9930 and I know it will not be LTE but will all future Verizon phones have SIM cards or just those capable of LTE? If the 9930 will not have a SIM card then how easy is it to switch between phones when out on the road? Is it a hassle or no problem at all? Thanks for any help!

To the best of my knowledge, the SIM cards are for LTE phones only. You won't see regular 3g phones with them. You will be able to sim swap the SIM card between vzw LTE devices whenever you want in the future. It's supposed to be that easy.

Just change the ESN online. It should be just fine. Why do you need a BB now? Android pretty much does everything a BB does, minus encrypting your data to the NOC.

Except for having a real physical kb. The #1 reason I'll probably never be able to get rid of the BB.

Physical keyboard is the main reason BB remains on the top of my list.
