Thus far it is unclear if the SIM slot is supported in software; What does this mean? What is "supported" and what is "software"? It sort of sounds like it says the device cannot make phone calls, but that seems doubtful. You need a SIM card to access a 3G network, right?

You generally need a SIM to authenticate to a GSM network, although things like emergency calls are typically still allowed without one. It does sound like this device does not yet support phone calls.

It's the difference between the cell modem not having a working driver (hardware), and the telephony stack being consciously disabled for any number of other potential reasons (ranging from they-are-waiting-for-the-oFono-port to the companies not wanting developers to run off and use the untested devices on other people's real GSM networks) (software). The point is: no one seems to know. Yet.
