Remove battery cover , remove battery , look for a little metal slide with contacts for the card. Goofy I know , but there it is.

The metal thingy flips up (there should be some markings on it that are a b!tch to read) that show which way to slide the thingy to open and close. Be gentle. I bought a card today, and I thought for sure I was going to snap it in two trying to close the metal thingy on it.

Why can't people 1) Search the forums 2)Read the user manual?

You can go blackberry.com and D/L a PDF copy of the manual so you will have it. I know that if you are with VZW and can get to CS or TS rep, they can email you a copy

I think she(?) said she lost the manual, and sometimes it's hard find a clear answer to your question when you're searching though numerous posts.

I couldn't figure this out when I first got this phone, either. It really is an odd location, if ya think about it.....

Welcome to cb, though!

I admit it is an odd location. I am not saying that the forums aren't for questions. It just seems the same questions are asked over and over.

[Travisl1213]

Holy ****...... You couldn't just search the entire phone. Lol. Its not that big. Lol

That is what I think I like the most about CrackBerry is there are always real people here ready to help no matter how simple the question might be.

You don't have to sit in solitaire searching forums looking for something that just doesn't make sense to you. You can always ask and people will ALWAYS be happy to help.

No matter how simple a problem might seem to the rest of us, to a Newbie it can be a real crisis.

Granted a search could have lead to answers but let's not beat anybody down for asking for help.

It wasn't that long ago I had to come to these forums seeking help because I couldn't find where to put my card. Its a really odd place to put the card.

Are you kidding? Don't be rude. Its in a location that, unless you knew where exactly to look, you wouldn't think of. Who would think to pull the battery out??

I agree. I am not saying I mind helping, it just seems more times than not, 2 seconds could have been taking to relieve a repost. Oh well...

[Quinky McFurklepuss]

I had the same question myself. I found this forum and blackberry.com didn't have the instructions in the 8330 manual pdf. I found did find this graphic instruction on Verizon's site. I wasn't able to post a link here since I'm a wee teenie noobie with no previous posts. Just add the http text prior to the colon here to view ://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=20560

That sounds like the actual technical name!
