    The memory slot would be on the bottom or under the keyboard.

    Its a sim card slow. It accompanies the wwan slot if you put in a card from like sprint in there.

    You can probably get a SIM card if you are using it internationally. Though it is more likely for AT&T or other GSM providers.

    AFAIK sprint phones use SIM cards.

    I believe this is only true for their "world" phones since they have GSM technology as well as CDMA technology.
