You might be looking forward to surfing the ‘net with 3G speeds once your very own Sony Vaio P arrives at your doorstep, but know this: for US models, the Sony Vaio P’s 3G SIM Card slot is non-functional. It’s not broken, it’s just that Sony’s decided to disable it for some reason. When you try to take a look at it, you’ll see that it is blocked by a piece of plastic across it. Taking this out requires a bit of patience and a sharp object like an x-acto knife. And even then, you won’t be able to use it. Way to give its users another kick in the arse, right? Yep, apparently, charging nearly $1000 for a small device that can’t be called a “netbook” wasn’t enough.
