Where’s the sim card?

SIM card? Hmmm… So this phone MIGHT be unlockable and usable on any Network using SIM cards? (And yes I know not all features would be usable…) I assume this allows the phone to be sold in Europe without a major change in internal components…

And if you know how to solder, it looks like that battery is replacable!

Hmmm that would be good to place other SIN cards in the iPhone and all the features still work! I heard there’s a minor problem about the battery life, that the battery life is to short. I’m planning to buy one but ill wait until the price drop. lol

Man, the last thing I would want to do is dismantle any kind of new technology I just bought.

The iPhone is actually very nice and the battery does last longer than the cingular/ HTC 8125. The only issue I have with the phone is that everything must be done through iTunes. Not having access to put in my own ringtones, and I had a really hard time transferring the contacts from the windows mobile phone to the iPhone with a mac computer.
