    not currently in a way thats plausible, you'd have to do factory resets i believe to change google accounts, unless your contacts are the same... then i don't know.

    well i have a t mobile account and use that sim but i know t-mobile will unlock the phone for me as i have had it over 90 days

    so i would want to stick a o2 sim in there as it has my business number on i would also need an app to manage it i guess

    well yeah, but the heart of the os is running off of gmail contacts, and you could have two gmail accounts. but the difficulty is in switching between the two accounts. unless i've just completely overlooked something

    You could just forward your business phone number to your work cell number. Only downside is when you call anyone it would go through your work cell number. I doubt there would be anyway to set it up to choose which number you could call from. But the call forwarding is what I do. Two numbers to the same phone.

    or someone 1337 can make an app to copy the sim card and mount it on the SD card as a virtual sim slot. just saying.

    O_0 Is that possible? If so, what would happen if I did that, and then put my SIM in another phone? What if someone then calls me?

    Do want.

    You'd have to hack the firmware in order to get that to happen. You can't just write an app that runs well after the phone has booted and read the SIM card. Hacking firmware is risky business and may leave you without cupcakes.

    Aside from that, the only plausible thing to try would be a dual sim adapter. Something like this might be interesting to play with although I doubt it would work the way you want it to. I've dealt with enough Sidekicks in my day to fear an OS that locks it's jaws on whatever SIM card you register your device with. Although I have NO idea how the phone deals with different SIMs being inserted. I should try that...
