(BTW the GSM equivalent of an ESN is IMEI). 

You may want to reconsider your choice above.  SIM cards have a 
standardised storage format which is quite limited.  GSM phones
usually have menu entries that let you transfer information
from the builtin storage to and from the SIM card.

Most phone sync software I have seen prompts you with a dialog
when you send and receive asking if you want to use the main 
phone memory or the SIM card.

I'd suggest just ignoring the SIM card completely and only
dealing with builtin memory, ideally hooking off the IMEI
and not the SIM card id.  (Imagine the people who use prepaid
SIM cards that they replace every month or whatever having
to deal with BitPim thinking it is a completely different
phone!  Same story with people who travel and use different
SIM cards based on the country they are in.)
