That's kind of a solution, except it looks complicated and seems to 
require me to mod my phone, which is a high enough barrier to entry that 
I'm not likely to do it.

It's possible that you're right, but I'm not so sure.  Influential US 
websites like The Travel Insider recommend using a local SIM when 
traveling abroad, so there may be a significant audience for such SIMs, 
and who wouldn't rather use a second SIM with their regular phone?

But a space for a second SIM card, like all design goals, should 
certainly be weighed against other priorities, and if there is just a 
niche market for it, then perhaps it doesn't make sense for the 
mass-market Neo.
