Calling Team Propellerhead
I’m back from Buffalo – and I got an unlocked iPhone 4! Woooot!
Problem: I can’t switch my Rogers iPhone 3GS SIM card to the shiny new unlocked iPhone 4 – the latter uses a “micro” SIM card, whilst the former doesn’t. Apparently all the iPads (inexplicably) use the micro SIM card, too.
Anyway: anyone got a quick solution? A copy of The War Room shall be yours if it works!
I broke down & bought the book about a month back, but apparently you just… cut it down

Here’s another how-to: http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/how-to-create-your-own-micro-sim-card-using-a-chef-knife-and-som/
I believe there is also a tool you can purchase that does the trick, clean and simple. But also $30 for something you’ll only use once. Unless you want to make plastic confetti.
you can purchase one!
Wander around to cellphone shops until you find a kid who will clip your card for 20 bucks.
Hmm, seems we’re back to that ‘unkindest cut of all’ topic; maybe some enterprising Rabbi’s kids will create a new business line: (un)Orthodox Sim-card Brit milah’s

So how’d the circumsimsion go? (or are you still going gentile into the good night w/o the 4’s being with you?)
