It does. At first I thought it was an SDHC slot, but it's a plastic, hinged piece that was designed to hold a SIM card. Apparently they canned the feature?

they do have two versions, one of which has gsm 4g plus gps, but the gsm version is never released.

They were going to have it on ATT and they probably decided to go cheap by using the same shell

Mine has the same thing but if you look hard, the piece does not come out and there is no real place where a SIM card could go. Also, look at both sides of the pop out- On the back side you will see that the little card has the typical part number and serial number that isn't stamped anywhere else on the tablet.
OP - Ditto, mine has it also.

0:35. Obviously didn't go forward into production but too late to re-tool the molds. I suspect the tray has a pop-up feature to keep it from being pulled out of the case.

There's hope yet that we can turn our MT4G into NFC device. However, I do have Nexus S too, but day-to-day I love my MT4G with RoyalGinger 2.1. Great ROM, fabulous battery life.
To be honest by the time nfc becomes widely useful in our daily lives, I would have switched to the mytouch 6g or Htc "insert feeling here"...lol

Good to see they are working on it...seems that GSM carriers could build this technology into the sim card itself.
I have seen quite a few people at work who put the small paypass key tags on the back of their phones, then cover it with a TPU case and use their phones as a payment device that way.

Seriously Wth is that about lol, how does the phone function? Does the card cause any mounting issues or does it just think there's no sd card?
Sent from my LG-P999
The SD card doesn't work, it did for awhile but stopped. That's what I said, the SD card slot isn't functional. I just use internal storage. I was just wondering if anyone would even consider buying it with an SD card slot that doesn't work.
Well i know i dont have the money to offor but if your willing to trade for my sensation 4g 9.5/10 condition and add 55dollars or if you have adiquate accessories to add with it we might be able to do a even trade because mine comes with a trident all the stuff that was in box and s type tpu and a seidio case with holster and 1 anker extended 1900 mah with wall charger.
Edit: just realized the sd card didn't work I would definalty request 90 dollars added or straight trade for my phone with out the accesories.

Hello dudes, I wanna say that I LOVE my phone, but in the same I think it's time for an upgrade so I am "hunting" for a new phone, and I have no clue what to get! I want an upgraded inspire lol...hehe Inspire 2nd gen but...it is not possible. So I am asking u guys: What should I get!? I am am outside of US, so I cannot get a contract with any carrier, that why I have to use ebay...but like I said...dno what to get!!! Any ideas!!?!?!?!
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app
There is a thread for this very issue. My question would be what about the Inspire do you think needs to upgraded? Faster processor, bigger screen, better camera?
For my next device, I want a faster processor, more ram, more storage, a front facing camera and a bigger screen without giving up anything that the Inspire provides. I haven't found it yet. I like the sexy heavy duty construction, this phone makes Samsungs feel like toys. The HOX has a higher end feel than the Sammies, but has no sd slot. Not interested in iOS or Windows. I have high hopes for the next round of Nexus devices but have to wait until there is more than just rumor to know if that's where I go next.
It's going to be about what you need, want and can afford. Without know more about that, I cannot make a recommendation.
Now I'm in a Pickle

So I like a idiot was standing next to a pool and dropped my phone in when I pulled it out of my pocket (the phone is a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket) and needless to say, the phone is screwed. I was wondering if the SIM card is going to be dead, too? I'm going to order a Nexus 4 to replace the Skyrocket.
It definitely has a much better chance of surviving than a phone. I left a sim in my pocket once when I washed my pants and it was fine.
Also, if you want a cheap piece of crap with no support, by all means, buy the Chinese knockoff phone. If you want a premium phone with a vibrant development community and ROM updates straight from Google, stick with your Nexus 4 plan. Choice seems obvious to me

Thanks! And yeah I think I'll stick with the Nexus 4 and not the Chinese knockoff the other guy posted
I guess I have to get a new SIM anyways since the N4 takes a Micro and I think my Skyrocket used a normal sized one.
Mine did, in a similar setting. (the difference being I didn't drop it, someone else threw it into the pool.) admittedly it was a backup phone and got fried, but the sim was fine.
Just let it dry out completely at room temperature.

Guess it doesn't really matter tbh since the phone requires a micro SD and I have a normal sized one.
You can still cut your SIM and make it a micro SIM (the one the N4 needs)
There are some tutorials on youtube
2 of my friends cut it theirselves and it works fine

Well, in theory it shouldn't, because metallic contacts of the SIM should short circuit. But it often keeps working. I drop mine in a puddle and it had no problems.
I dropped mine in a glass of beer and when i got sober, it worked just fine
Just make sure it's completely dry before testing. And don't artificially dry with hair dryer, etc. As over heating might damage.
