I occasionally swap my iphone microSIM into my Torch by using a SIM adapter, but stupidly slid the adapter into the 9800's metal holder without the microsim in place (just the empty tray adapter with a big "hole" in the middle where the chip goes)

Long story short, the empty tray hooked the one-way metal contacts on its way in, and the only way to remove the tray is to pull...hard, which severely damages/detroys the little metal contacts in there. Now the phone just says "Insert SIM Card" :(

Appears that there is no way to replace this part of the phone chassis, looks like it's a completely integrated component.

I guess I'll bring it to Rogers and play dumb...!
