I agree. I want to be able to swap my SIM card into the phone I want to carry that day. Three separate SIM standards undercut that. I went canoeing the other day and wanted a phone with me. I took a cheap old piece of junk in case I took a dive. I tossed a prepaid SIM in it, but I have a contract SIM for the US with more than enough minutes. If, however, I made an adapter and put the SIM into that phone, ATT would sense the SIM change and pull my unlimited international data grandfathered plan. To avoid this, I forwarded to a prepaid SIM.

If I loan a SIM to a friend for a trip, I have to cut the SIM card half the time and it just makes things a hassle. Additionally some of my friends can't cope with reseating a SIM and instead call me from hotel phones abroad screaming that the phone is saying "no SIM." Life was easier with just one SIM size.

PS: The rumored Moto X (due out any day) will also use a nano SIM.
