<p>I agree. .. But the new android tablets have dual sim card slot along with sd. .. Which is in a slidable section at the back of one side. .. So no need to remove whole of bsck cover. ..<br>

Yeah, any cheap Android 4.0 phone will do the trick, and as MTK based<br>
phones are usually dual SIM, you can buy a data-only SIM (as they might<br>
be cheaper/faster/etc. than adding a data plan to the main SIM card)<br>
that will get tethered, while your default, phone SIM can remain for...<br>
well phone calls. I personally don't like the idea of putting a SIM card<br>
inside a tablet. My phone is always with me, and I don't want to pay for<br>
a data plan I rarely use.<br>
