It's cheap.. there are lots on ebay.. and they work 100% on the pulse. By the way.. the link below is from a trusted seller. Click here for one (the chepeast i've found)
Guest h3dshot Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 thanks alot, looks like im going to have to. i ordered an ismartsim from deal extreme on teh 2nd Feb and its apparently been shipped but i havent recieved it... oh well i'll give ebay a bash. thanks again :huh:
Guest Dante2070 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 Dealextreme takes about a month to deliver, from the day the item has been shipped (not the day you placed the order). I suggest you wait until the end of next week.
