What is the slot between the SD and reset button for?
 
If you take off your bat cover and look, there is a slot which looks like a little card of some sort located inbetween your Micro SD slot and the soft reset button.:???:

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what it's 4? Or should I just read the user manual for once?:mrgreen:

Are you referring to the locking slot for the back cover?

Yea, but it looks like there is some type of removeable card right below where the bat cover locks.

Looks like a lot of peeps wanna know what this is. I can see a lot of thanks goin out to whoever figures it out.

Not sure either. I really thought that was a dummy MicroSD at first... then I thought HTC did something novel and gave a dead slot essentially as storage for a secondary MicroSD so if I ever need that important file or a second 16GB chip with me it's always along for the ride.

I was wrong.

Cool idea though right?

That def would be cool. Could you imagine having TWO 16 GB cards in your phone? Eat your heart out IPhone 3gs 16GB...

Sure.... let me just twist my phone around... aim camera at itself.... ahhh crap, got another picture of the ceiling!

I could use another camera for this but don't have one on me, so I'll see what I can do with this series of makeup mirrors I've borrowed from my co-workers.

If you take the battery out, it appears to be part of the SIM tray holder.

this is it, in between the reset button and the sd card slot. the top of it is where the back cover locks into place. but below it, what looks to be a slot of some sort, is unknown.

yes the top portion is where the cover locks into place, this is the same as on the opposite side except that it is lower down. on this side however, it stops sort due to the item in question.

Here's what I got. There are 4 locking latches on the phone total. This mystery card is located directly behind/underneath the SIM card. I see some electrical something on the card. It's not part of the battery cover locking system. Like scotty said, it falls short of the mystery card.

I just want to take a pair of needle nose pliers and pull it out to see. Bye bye warranty

ok, hmmm, its a chip for the goverment to hear and listen to every move you make....

i have no idea, good luck, it looks like a mystery that scooby doo needs to solve..

Re: What is the slot between the SD and reset button for?
 
Guys it is nothing.

I pulled out my sim and closely looked behind "the latch" with my soldering 10x magnifier. You can kinda see some electrical contacts but they belong to the side of a chip soldered to them.

The latch is apart of a plastic piece which supports the sim card in place. I'm not sure why the case was designed like this but there's no additional memory card/sim contacts.

Yea, no thanks for you....JK. I was hoping to hear maybe some new smaller SUPER Micro SD card slot.

Oh well

Imma e-mail HTC and see what the point of the design was. I'm just wondering what the engineer was smoking when he designed that.

Ok, I emailed HTC about the IPhone changing slot. I also asked how to change our phones back to Touch Pros!

Haha, for reals, I did e-mail them...I just like to know what's in/on my phone and what it can do. It's like owning a 67 Shelby GT and not knowing how to open the hood

It's funny this was mentioned today. I was just looking at it. If you look at it from the top down, that is, lay the phone on it's face and look down at the "slot", it looks like a metal fin behind it. I'm wondering if it's an antenna. Those of you who have taken apart laptops before may know what I'm talking about. I really think it might either be a shield of some sort or an antenna. Maybe the BT antenna or something?

It's the slot for the NSDUC2 card : Nano Secure Digital Ultimate Capacity 2

The capacity of NSDUC2 are between 500Go to 1To

NSDUC1 was maximum 250 Go

I second this. Looking at it, I seem to think that it is merely a larger clasp than the other 10 or so that would "snap" the halves together. The four Torx head screws secure the halves together much like the screws in a laptop case. However, as in a laptop case, more often than not they "snap" together first.
