Except when you swap SIMs while your phone is on. And anyay the "device
passcode" entry needs to be very different (visually, too) from SIM PIN
entry, so that you don't mistake one for the other (and lock yourself
out / lock the SIM in the process).

I'm in favour of just treating the SIM PIN as any other credential and
store it in the keyring, if the user so desired (only if the account is
protected by a passcode / passphrase). Not sure that would be OK from
the operators' standpoint, though.
