    Had the worst day of this year, I have a nano-sim which I use in my iPhone 5 to use the same sim with my Q10 I purchased a sim adapter which makes my sim, a micro sim when needed.
    Today while I was trying to remove the sim card from my Q10 , the adapter got stuck and damaged the sim reader of my BlackBerry .
    I think I have damaged 2 connectors of the phone.
    Guys, can anyone faced the same issue? If yes how did u get it repaired?

    Where can I get the replacement part in India?
    Blackberry won't help, as my handset is a imported one.

    Oh I feel your pain. I did the exact same thing on Wednesday, same situation with an iPhone 5. I'm guessing you don't have insurance through your carrier? In my case, I had insurance on my Q10 which I removed on Monday and then managed to damage the pins on Wednesday.

    There are several places I found online (including eBay) that sell the SIM card tray. The problem for me is I have no clue how to repair it myself nor did I know who else would be able to since it is soldered directly to the board. With the demands of my job, I couldn't wait to figure out what to do and ended up buying a new Q10 from my carrier yesterday. I'll probably just try to sell my broken Q10 for parts to someone who would know how/attempt to fix it. I may end up selling my iPhone 5 too since all I really need is my BlackBerry. I was having withdrawals without it!

    Good luck!

    Thats very unfortunate. Good to know that sim adaptors can ruin your phone so we can avoid it. I'd rather go for a sim change for a nominal fee if thats the case.
