Re: Multiple Devices, multiple emails

The 8800 and the 8830 are used on 2 different networks.  8800 is GSM and the 8830 is CDMA.  You can't use the same SIM card for both (at least in the US).

Re: Multiple Devices, multiple emails

If your 8830 is a Verizon device... you don't need a SIM card to have it work unless you are traveling overseas.  Make sure you have a data plan and have set up a BIS account for the 8800 on AT&T AND a BIS account for the 8830 on whatever carrier that belongs to, as well.
