Got my 10" EE... SIM slot?
OK, I haven't found much info on it, but does the SIM slot in the fullsized edge work? The one I have came with an AT&T SIM in it, so I'm assuming it does. Is it locked to AT&T? This is the first time I've noticed that the EE even had built in 3G.

EE hasn't got a cellular modem module, so the SIM slot is useless. The official explanation of its existence is that the housing molds were made to be used not only with the EE that we have, but with an expected next model that would be 3G-enabled. Besides, enTourage promised that some not 3G-related usage for the SIM slot of the existing EE would be added in a future software update. But that never happened.
An AT&T SIM card that you found in your slot is there because some EE owners use that slot to store their spare SIM card. And the person that you bought your unit from forgot to take his card out. |

The software version prior to the last released albeit beta allowed the use of USB 3G modem devices.

Yes, but that feature is in no way related to the SIM slot.
