Sorry rude people have to make you feel stupid. I read the manual, too and didn't quite get it because I was worried about damaging the phone. I finally found my answer here:

Basically you use a paperclip in the tiny hole and you have to push pretty hard. That is what got me. I was afraid to push too hard.


You probably figured it out by now, but since this was one of the top answers when I googled for help and all I got out of it was "Read the manual", I thought I'd give a more helpful answer.

The manual doesn't do a very good job of explaining. The poor girl that asked the original question was the one who got treated rude. The "duh" is implied. The response is easily read, "Duh! Read the manual!" All the manual says is "Insert the end of a small paper clip or SIM eject tool into the hole on the SIM card tray". It doesn't say "push straight in firmly until the tray containing the SIM card pops out". I (and I assume many others) was left to wonder how hard to push, if the clip should be used to pull it back out, if the clip should be moved one way or another and whether there was a door to open or if something was going to pop out. I think a simple, kind answer that explained "how" would have been much more helpful than simply stating the obvious, thus suggesting she wasn't smart enough to know what should be obvious. If you want to answer people in a way that makes them feel stupid, then you need to be able to take some constructive criticism.
