![]() --- That's what I thought you were trying to say. I just order a PSS SIM and hope that they can ship it out quickly. How much did you pay for your 904sh? I got mine for $180 shipped. Go... United!! |

I heard that the first gen of the pss-sim sometimes have issues or disconnects from calls when used. I'm not sure myself, but its rumored around. The Hyper Sim, said to be the 2nd version or the better varient to the pss-sim. More stable, and well cover for most sim. I have no problem roaming Cingular Sim's in Hong Kong. Im going to try 920sh, since its that my seller in Hong kong let me play with his 920sh and have no problem getting in and out of menu. However, as ususal, the Camera, MMS, Games and so on doesnt work. Only calls, sms, and like browsing through menus are fine. BTW: No Re-pro for 904sh, Re-pro for 920sh for Camera and some other functions only |

Hopefully by then there will be more improvements on the PSS (and price drop lol) and hopefully the cost of buying one there will be lower then importing it to Canada. >_< EDIT: theres a guy on ebay japanfone who's selling 904sh's (black) for like 390 and you might be able to get away with a lower price since theres a make offer option, if anyones still interested in it. Personally I'm not interested because I only want a purple or white >_> |

don't remember who mentioning it but just read in hardwarezone forum for verification... just a thought... i remembered it vaugely so.. don't quote me for it.. |
I wouldn't settle for any other color.

Never even touched it, have had 903sh before?... are you getting one? =) Only bad thing is the whole metal thing around the camera has like been scraped away hope it's just me. Edit: Oh getting one, awesome you'll love it promise! Gratz for the greatest buy of your life hehe ![]() |
I paid less for it than the money I made in selling my unlocked iPhone so I am happy about that.
stage of trying to get pass the USIM error. I'm playing around with the contacts as much as possible and have scotch taped the top part of my sim and the pss sim. To no avail. Any tips to get this thing to work, as the booting up spund is beginning to annoy me. LOL

I've adjusted it as much as I can think of doing, does any one have a pic of how the contact s should line up on the sim card. PSS Sim website and video don't give a full view of the contacts on the sim. |

YAY so now what, feels kinda empty after getting it all to work etc think i need to use it a little then i will feel the benefit of the phone that i felt in Japan =)|

I am using it with my AT&T 3G-blah-blah SIM card without any repro prompt or issues... In the back, there is an adhesive tape that you can use to attach pss-sim with your own sim card - that seems to work for me. For those who haven't got theirs, I hope that you all will get yours soon!!!! Cheers! ![]() |
