I am going to be traveling in about 3 weeks and reviewing my international calling options including buying a prepaid SIM and dropping it into the Storm. The problem is, I cannot get out the VZW SIM. I'ved looked in the manual, here on Crackberry, on the BB website and cannot find instructions on how to get the thing out. Can someone please tell me what the trick is since I am sure I am missing something?
TIA
EDIT: Used Google and saw a thread where someone said they used a pencil eraser (for a different device). It worked like a charm. The problem is how often do you come across a pencil with an eraser?!?!?!?!?
It slides up towards the top of the phone. At first it looks like the guard is screwed on and you have to take it off to get the card out but it slides up.

Do you frequently come across pencils WITHOUT erasers?!
Not bad from someone who could not get his servoce books following an upgrade about a month ago.

I would say trying to get service books to load on an unlocked cellphone is slightly different than figuring out how to remove a sim card. It does not take much intellect to take a sim card out. Flame away, doesnt bother me.
I find it funny you cant even quote properly so fire away bud.
Settle down people! That thing IS a B**** to remove. I think they want to discourage us from using our own SIMs.
And guess what gang? 90% of the help I give I learned from here too, and I have made PLENTY of bonehead mistakes too. And a long LONG time ago I was a net noob too, think CompuServe & BBS days. I'm sure not all of you guys are too young to remember that stuff, and dialup 400 baud.

Once you get it out you may want to put a little piece of tape on it so it will come out easily the next time. Depending upon where you are going you may want to swap the local sim in and out if you are going to use Verizon's Global Data Plan and use the local sim for calls
