Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll give them a try over the next few days. I'm particularly interested in the tape method, and the eraser sounds good also.
Gorgonesh and 1800bigk - I've tried just using finger pressure to slide it out, but either my fingers were too oily or my SIM just fits too snuggly in the slot, and I couldn't get it to budge.
If I do end up getting the E71, this would be first time I would be switching frequently between phones. Installing and removing the SIM has never been a major concern before now, and it does seem that the ease of this operation is an afterthought by the manufacturers.
Thanks again for the help. :buddies:
