Insert MicroSIM -New Help Option (Screenshot Attached)
- Hey Everyone,
Just now I was in the "help" application, last time RIM put in the majority of the changes in there so I thought, "Hey maybe they have a bit more detail about this update in here"
Apparently that help application is a bit reorganized, and now it's showing a new option about a Micro SIM. Interesting stuff for sure, Screenshot is attached.

- To which end of summer do you refer oh Great Bla1ze? Or are you paying homage to the infamous "available before the end of summer" spoken by the former co-CEOs?04-17-12 11:30 PMLike 0

A few other findings, tap on HDMI mode in the photos application and the notification has changed from being a large dialog box in the middle to a small one in the corner
Facebook is also much smoother
Yes I have a lot of time on my hands to figure this stuff out
As well as 2.0.1.30 for the Android runtime (Compared to 2.0.0.56 previously)04-17-12 11:35 PMLike 0 - Bla1zeCB OG04-17-12 11:37 PMLike 0
- Bla1zeCB OGYes Bla1ze I know although it's pretty cool that it shows up here.

(Kinda, they're willing to play along with Apple if it's done fairly)04-17-12 11:39 PMLike 0 -

- I should say they don't really want them. It's Apple REALLY wanting it, but RIM and Nokia and others are *somewhat* willing to play along but they just don't want Apple skewing the votes for it. It's Apple's technology.04-17-12 11:57 PMLike 0
- Bla1zeCB OGYup. Pretty sure it's an Apple plot, lol. Make a SIM so small people keep having to buy more.goku_vegeta and TNNurse like this.04-18-12 12:07 AMLike 2
- Either that or they are actually attempting to make devices more powerful while keeping them the same size and increasing the battery size. Interesting concept and it has worked for Apple, at least for the time being, only time will tell if that's a good concept to follow through with.04-18-12 12:10 AMLike 0
- I believe there were also a few "leaked slides" they showed the processor being a 1.5 GHz processor, can't remember if it was Dual Core or quad core (Strongly believe it was dual core though), NFC capability, as well as a 42 Mbps (correlating well with statements from RIM about a 4G PlayBook, Evaluation units, download reports from me and other devs showing carriers like "Rogers" and "Verizon" and now this).04-18-12 12:22 AMLike 0

4G playbook will be good.. I wouldn't mind upgrading since internet related activities will be smoother.. app world and other such stuff.. and plus 3g is unlimited for blackberry in my city.. wait i do all this with bridge.. it's confusing but it really doesn't make sense to go with 4g if you have blackberry phone..04-19-12 01:15 AMLike 0 - Dumb Question Alert
If one has a 4G/LTE Ipad (the new one) and a microSIM card from Rogers Wireless, if I was to get a 4G/LTE Playbook, could I simply swap out the microSIM Card between the devices? Basically, I'm curious to know if you would need to get two separate Sim Cards and data plans for both devices or can the card simply be swapped, hence the data plan would swap, to whatever device is being used at the time.04-19-12 01:26 AMLike 0
