How the hell do you pull out the SD from it's slot??!

Hi!!

Just wondering that... I've read in many posts people claiming that "get a SD card; it's way better than taking out a CF" but... for me is quite impossible to put out a SD from it's slot, with the dummy CF inserted! I do have to push it with something like the stylus but, I'm afraid something might broke; either the stylus from pushing, the card, the slot, whatever!

So every bloody time I've to get the dummy CF out, then I can gently press the SD out... but it's a pain in the ass to do that...

And if CF are as easy pulling as the dummy card (I don't think so, because I don't think the CF has that 'handle' that the dummy card has...) then SD is HARDER than CF to take out!

Thanks.

press the sd card down with your finger nail and it will pop out.

it spring actioned.
you push the sd card and it will pop out.
it's like the medicine cabinet's magnetic locking mechanism.

Hell... yes, I know how to take it out!!!

What I meant is that it's pretty hard for me to do it with the CF dummy inserted... my finger(nail) can't reach it; if I push too hard sometimes it pop-out, but I feel like I'm destroying (bending, etc.) the upper part of the PDA too!!!

Any suggestions besides copying&pasting the "push the SD card with your finger" thing?

pen, knife, gf's finger, fork, flattened straw, paper clip, plastic on shoe lace, front tooth, etc

Pick your poison. I personally just use my fingernail. I have a really bad habit of biting my nails... so it leaves me wondering why your having such a hard time.

Which finger are you using? Is it the right number?

You can be a funny bugger sometimes.

I have used the end of my stylus (not the pointed end but the other end). It works quite well. It has a flat surface and its wide enough to not let the SD card slip out from under it from the downward pressure.

Yep, ditto this method.:approve:

I was about to admit that figuring out the sd card spring action for me was sort of like the discovery of the lock button on the Axim. But never mind.

I use the BUTT end of the stylus.
