Um, ripped out when removing a sim, i did have it working fine for a few days with the old contact held in place with a thin piece of paper but now ive lost the contact :| Can i get a new sim connector soldered on or is that the end of GSM for my IIs??

If you don't remove your simcard that often, a temporary bodge can be made with some tinned strands of wire, a soldering iron and a gluegun. For a more permanent repair, most independant phone repair shops will do it for about £40 although the actual cost of the sim holder is around £2. And no, I don't have any :(

You could possibly butcher a suitable old mobile phone for one?

Do you know where i could pick up the sim holder? Can i send it the unit to HTC for repair?

HTCEurope won't look at an XDAIIs. o2's XDA helpline may deem it B.E.R - I don't know of any 'official' repair agent that will do a solder repair, most will just say you need a new mainboard and charge you accordingly :evil:

To get the simholders you need to buy m.o.q of 100 or so. Have you checked ebay?

edit - sorry b.e.r = beyond economic repair, m.o.q = minimum order quantity.
