    Just got my Vaio Z2, yay!

    Might be a dumb question, can't seem to find a slot for a SIM card, is there one?

    Thanks!

    If there is a WWAN (Qualcomm Gobi) chip inside, then it will be on the bottom, under a rubber cover, almost similar to the one for the slice battery. If you didn't get a Gobi chip already, then there is no SIM card slot, and if it's anything like the SA, no sim card reader, even.

    EDIT: fail :(

    I got a Gobi chip, but there's no rubber slot at the bottom, weird. I have a feeling its inbuilt...

    It's on the back edge, left of center. You need to shut the screen to see it. You need to poke a paper clip into the tiny little hole to force it out.

    No, you just pull on the rounded bit. No need for paperclip. I love this setup BTW - makes it a cinch to swap SIMs.
