I destroyed a Samsung phone in a similar way, and damaged a Nokia C7 (but in that case I could bend it back, it didn't break.)

In some phones you can solder on/off the individual pins relatively easily, in others they aren't accessible. It really depends on SIM holder in the N950. And since it is such a rare device, few people will will have experience doing it on that specific device.

I've already opened up the n950 - I might post pictures once I get home from work to see if anyone can support my hypothesis that the sim reader can be replaced with one from a similar nokia phone model.... I saw that video and unfortunately, the n950's sim reader is not like the one in the video
