I am on vacation in the philippines. I got my N9 the day I was leaving to come here. When I got here I paid for a suntel internet sim card. I went up stairs in the mall to an edgecom store and asked them t cutit int a mocrosim. They charged me 2 bucks and they used the same sim card cutter I bought from Amazon. After I stuck it in my N9 it did not work. After examing the wear lines on my own working tmobile sim from the US and the non working suntel sim I decided to cut a sliver off the top, flipping it upside down to form a spacer and placing the sliver at the bottom so as to push the rest of it to the top. It now works.

I've been trying to upload pictures of it for the last 3 days but I can't get photobucket to work.
