I have gone three times to T-Mobile now to get it fixed. They tried putting tape on the sim card door, but it didn't work. She said it could be the battery. I bought a brand new battery for total of $65. The lady put tape on the sim card door .. it worked for a little while. And, of course, Murphy's Law, when I got back home, I started getting the sim card error message again. I am ready to give the phone to my dogs to play with .. that is how much good it is to me with not working 95% of the time now. I have to constantly take the battery out, push down on the sim card door, get the battery in as tightly as I can get it, and put the door of the phone back on. Then boot it again, which takes forever, it seems. Most of the time, it still has the error message, and when I try to call, it says "emergency calls only" .. I am requesting a new phone tomorrow, but doubt they will give me one .. there will be something else they need to try or just more excuses. For the amount of money we pay each month, to have a cellphone like a Blackberry Pearl that doesn't work, is ridiculous. I can't believe how many other users of the Blackberry Pearls are having the exact same problems!!! I have been having this same issue with my year old Blackberry pearl phone.

Its happening like 5 times a day. I went into the store yesterday and the guy looked at me like I was crazy because my phone didn't do it while I was in there. He gave me a new sim card but I havn't put it in yet. I tried tape but to no success. It kept on having errors. Seriously… this sim card error problem is bugging the bazookas out of me.

However, I have had a Pearl for over one year, and at this point I get a SIM card error msg at least once a day, which is driving me nuts. Thanks for the tip on the tape - I will give it a try.

I spoke to the AT&T warranty people who told me that it wasn't covered by the warranty because it sounded like hardware damage, but that it could be fixed for the price of a new phone ($300+ without the 2-year contract discount). I've never had a device before with a flaw like this. It's a design defect, spread the word, make Blackberry replace our phones! I have the exact same problem with my Pearl.

It is a big pain. But the biggest pain I have right now is that my back keeps coming off do to a malfunction with the small metal piece that is supposed to hold it in place. Its stuck down in there. I called customer service only to be told that it's not a "known error" and that I would have to pay for a new phone. Made me mad.

I just want to make a quick suggestion that take out Zero Digg icon from your blog posts for a while untill you get real traffic here. You have a good blog though. ;) I would say upgrade to something like iphone but sometimes technology backfires in mysterious ways.

I had to tape mine too. I suggest you go into the store and have them close it properly. Thats what i did and the tape is off, and the phone is back to no errors. I hated it too- especially cause I have a really cool case on it to help keep it safe when dropping! You are correct in this- the SIM card door is wack.
