"This equipment is a CDMA portable transceiver, which operates in the Analog 800 MHz cellular band and
in the Digital CDMA 800 MHz PCS band."

That could be a memory card slot, maybe? Or it could be the battery contacts...]]>Oct 1st 2006 10:43AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/30/motorola-readying-another-pebl-like-phone-for-cdma/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/30/motorola-readying-another-pebl-like-phone-for-cdma/
Since this phone was designed for and released first in China on China Unicom (the largest CDMA carrier in China) and they actually use R-UIM technology in all their phones it makes sence that it has an R-UIM slot.

It will likely remain in the US version and just be inactive much like every Nokia (original not rebadged) CDMA phone has an R-UIM slot in the back aswell. ]]>Oct 1st 2006 12:42PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/30/motorola-readying-another-pebl-like-phone-for-cdma/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/30/motorola-readying-another-pebl-like-phone-for-cdma/
