    well its not a long run, that is just to remove the entire sim board. if you just want to insert the sim, it should have a slot by where the board is from the exterior.

    The sim board holds the sim card. So yes, it is a convoluted process in installing/removing the sim card

    Actually, I just ordered a base package with Celeron M 743 and it will be arrived in 2 weeks. I own another CULV notebook with SU3500 and 3Gb memory which can definitely satisfy my needs, (of cause not for multifunctional tasks), like MS office and SAP Gui. These two processors have almost the same tech specs except 2 Mb at L2 cache and 100 mhz at frequency. Still a little curious, can this celeron's performance match SU3500's? I hope it will...
    Once my V13 arrives, I'll return a newly bought noisy, non-stop trembling HP DM3. I don't want to deny that DM3 is also a nice looking machine. Unfortunately, I have zero tolerance to noisy cooling fan...

    This is exactly why I didn't keep the HP DM3 I bought at Future Shop - noise :( ......
    The V13 is dead silent compared to the DM3. You can hear a very soft noise from the fan but nothing disturbing even in a calm environment.

    I'm still very happy with this machine after playing with it for a couple of days.

    Ordered the same one a few days ago (Days of Deals special for $479). The Celeron doesn't have hyper-threading or speedstep so it won't be as fast as a SU chip or as power efficient (runs at full power all the time). But, I'm only using it for minimal word processing and some emailing so I don't care. Should have mine in two weeks as well...can't wait.
