thats imposible

Agreed!!

Absolutely impossible.

You could re-use a few parts, but you would need to replace almost all the internals. The cost of the parts would be much more than the cost of a new phone.

Then why have they given a SIM slot at the back of the phone

The RH-17 is available as either CDMA 800 and AMPS or CDMA 800 only, depending on model. It supports the new CDMA 1XRTT standard air interface.

rh-17 -cdma800/amps

rh-17na -cdma800

rh-17r -cdma800,RUIM-support(RUIM (SIM Car)RH-17 will support RUIM for China products. )

I wonder when this stupid rumor will die in India.....somehow i feel ashamed to know that there are still people who do not know the ABC of cellphone technology and claim to be repaires of cell phones of all kind.....

Had they known the difference between GSM and CDMA technology they would have never dared to ask such stupid question........
