K800i - Can't get the blinking back off it!!

wozwebs

Had this phone last Friday and it's fantastic. However I can't get the back off mine to get to the sim card, having a nightmare.

Diagram in the manula says hold firm then slide with one thumb.

Went into Phones 4 U where I got it from today and the bloke just slid it off no problem (presume he's used to doing these all day). Said to use 2 thumbs and slide. OK I thought and off I went. Got back to office and 3 of us have tried to get it off but to no avail.

Any ideas, might just be being thick here.

Use your 2 thumbs to push towards the bit which the charger plugs in to. Don't touch the sides only the back. Push in middle of the removable part, right of the sony logo.

what id say is, try and slid it off with hardly any pressure,, i know it sounds weird- but it worked for me!
