Question about

Does anyone know if the SIM card slot on this thing is easily accessible? Looking at the FCC images, it looks like it might.

Can easily change the APN? Has anyone been able to buy this thing off contract? The $150 suggested retail price isn't their "off contract" pricing, so I'm not sure if I could buy this without a contract. If I could get this for $150, I'd get this in a heartbeat.

Hey it seems like you can add your own APN to it. Not sure though if it's still locked or not, need a different SIM card to test it. Also the SIM card is easily accessible but it's under the battery just like other cellphones.

I'll ask the store cuz I sure would like to get this but not under contract. But without buttons changing the APN would be a bit of a challenge. Maybe it has a software of sorts that you can change from a laptop/desktop connected via USB?

APN changes are possible through the web interface. It allows adding APN Profiles. I haven't tested it yet, as I don't have any other SIMs to work with. All the specifications I have found though indicate that it only does GSM at 1900mhz, and UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ on 1700/2100mhz. It seems to be a rather T-Mobile dedicated device, unlike the MF60.
