Although I knew that this screen did not display, it seems it is not working to touch. That is why I'm hoping the reset might work.

When you sign up with a phone company (either pre or post paid) the phone company will give you a sim card to put in your phone. Not sure why you can't get past the screen telling you there is no sim card though, I have several phones without sim cards which work just fine (aside from the previously mentioned restrictions re making calls etc).
