Couldn't imagine anyone else being so techodumb as me, but just in case.
A friend sent me the link for the proper manual that shows the pictures of how to insert the Sim, and it was indeed just that simple thing of not realising that the little bar I saw going across the pins was all the card needed to go under, and that if I put pressure on to push the card in underneath it then it would go fine.
Seem's I can't post a link now either which I can appreciate as I run a forum myself, but suffice to say it's on the main blackberry site under a listing of
/BlackBerry_7130v_from_Vodafone_-_Getting_Started_Guide.pdf so hopefully that will get others pointed in the right direction.
