Coz I'm going to Singapore next month, might buy it there first. Nano SIM is just a way to cut the normal SIM, like micro SIM, just cut even smaller. Can cut DIY also...

the prob is.. nano sim is thinner than any other sim.. smile.gif

The difference is very, very small. Small enough to shave it off with a very fine 'shaving' paper in 2 or 3 shaves. Behind the SIM is just plastic, not the metal itself. Unless they change the whole electronic architecture of the SIM card, it can be done DIY.

just get this source:-

Since the latest iPhone 5 will be using nano-SIM, it could now be the problem of interested users to change their micro-SIM to nano-SIM before they can actually enjoy the ride with new iPhone 5. But someone might think of cutting the micro-SIM into nano-SIM so to save the conversion fee from phone shop. It seem like this idea have been denied by SIM inventor, Giesecke Devrient. Giesecke Devrient, also the manufacturer of nano-SIM, had confirmed that micro-SIM just cannot be cut into nano-SIM. Even with the same dimension, the nano-SIM is just 15% slimmer than the normal micro-SIM which cause the mismatching of nano-SIM slot within iPhone 5.

That's why some said they will try to shave off the thickness a bit. But nobody knows if this works. Let's just see if it works for anyone who tried it.

Come on don't be so immature n childish
This thread is getting ridiculous with such comments

Added on September 15, 2012, 7:14 pm
Read several posts back few links on how to do it
Main difficulty is on how to reduce the thickness only
*
yup.. totally agree.. plz dont mis-use this thread.. smile.gif

and "sanding" the thickness is the most difficult part..

im hoping on the 21st will see some comments from the 1st batch..

tools definitely is being produced as of what i heard from my supplier.. the problem.. no one know the tools can be use or not n that is still a ? to me (or us).

i guessed.. from now.. we can only wait till hands on by someone..

Added on September 15, 2012, 7:25 pmheard from my HK fren.. HK there is starting to "fried" iphone 5 to HKD9k+... how ridiculous can it be... my goodness, i almost gone insane when i heard that..

I still can't decide.

1. Wait for ip5

2. Get 4s (save me some money along the way)

3. Get S3

My usage are just for calling, texting, some typical social networking apps, music and 2-3 games.

While u r still deciding it.. Y not wait till i5 launch then only u decide which to go..
