QUOTE(bladegun @ Sep 14 2012, 10:11 AM) When telco start to support nano-sim, that means they are also start to sell iPhone 5. 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... |

QUOTE(derrickmoo @ Sep 14 2012, 10:21 AM) the prob is.. nano sim is thinner than any other sim.. 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. |

QUOTE(derrickmoo @ Sep 14 2012, 10:33 AM) just get this source:- 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.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. |

Actually if think about it, iPhone 5 not really much of an upgrade. Maybe can keep the current phone, and buy the new iPod, 90% same like iPhone 5 d... much cheaper, larger capacity and no nano SIM issue...
