no it can not
well... TECHNICALLY it can. but only to 3G at&t cell phones. the sim has a unique shape. and one of the MAIn reasons that the iPhone sim card cant be transferred to a non iPhone in some cases... is because the sim card compartment requires a tool to unlock it and take out the sim card. :O it comes with the phone though. but i think you can only transfer the sim from the iPHone 3gSSSSSS cuz it has the actual card in it. the others dont... idk why. :P

Can sim cards be transferred to a non-iPhone from an iPhone?

The original 2G iphone was IMSI locked therefore you could only use one sim with the phone. Newer Iphones 3G and 3GS are usually just carrier locked so you can swap around SIMs including MVNO SIMs that operate thru the same provider. All Iphones from Belgium/Italy or New Zealand are completely unlocked. Some carriers will unlock your IMEI so that when you update the phone on ITunes the phone will be unlocked expect to incur a charge or to be out of contract to get this!AnswerNo. A SIM activated in a non-iPhone will not work in an iPhone.The iPhone must be used with the built-in SIM card that was activated in it initially (or the activated SIM from an identical model iPhone), although that SIM can be moved to another SIM-based phone if necessary.

Can you bluetooth data to an iPhone from a non-iPhone?

No. At this writing (February 2009), Bluetooth on the iPhone supports connection of Bluetooth headsets only; it does not support data connections. One of the unique features of the iPhone is that its features and applications can be enhanced via software updates, so it may be possible at some point in the future. (january2010) I can say that the bluetooth of iphone (3GS) is not 100% compatible with other mobile phones or computers (neither between the apple products) the apple is pointing on different applications which concentrate on wireless usage and/or the mms systems.
