Verizon and Sprint do not use SIM cards. The SIM card slot can be provisioned to accept a SIM card provided by the carrier (Verizon or Sprint, as appropriate) that allows international roaming via their GSM roaming partners.
It WILL be used if you subscribe to an International roaming plan from either Verizon or Sprint. It's unknown whether they are including SIMs in the shipping phones or whether you will have to get one from them if you intend to roam outside of the US.
Thanks!
This report has been directly contradicted by later stories from Arstechnica and others. It seems that right now, this is one big confused mess.
