do not put nano-sim on sdcard slot. do not put sdcard on sim-slot. do not put sim-adapter alone on sim-slot. pinephone takes micro-sim.

what kind of an .... something would do something like this!?

Perhaps worth adding to the wiki in case people don't understand the text:

I should probably take a photo for the sticky tape SIM handle. I'd usually put the tape on over the whole back of the sim and adapter, leaving a bit sticking out over the end to make removal easier. Use a tape with a good adhesive that doesn't leave a residue, especially if it's going to be in there for a long time.
