Just received a new one by mail today... however, I can't get the back off
to insert the battery and SIM! Maybe I'm being really thick; however...
the page in the instruction manual starts with the back already off (clever,
that), and the customer service agent I phoned says it "just slides down".
If I push any harder I'm going to bust the thing! Can anybody who's got
one of these things help me?!

Thanks
David

you do have to use a bit of force, as you found the manual is rubbish.
Once you've done it once, it should be easier.

Ah - got it! For the possible future benefit of anybody else reading this -
you put your thumbnail under the notch on the bottom of the back, and the
back just snaps off - it doesn't slide at all, and there is no 'release'
button.
