How do I remove the SIM card from my Ericsson T226?

Hi,
I'm not electronics-wise person trying to figure out how to remove my
SIM card from my Sony Ericsson T226. I can see how it could have been
slipped in, but it's held in place by two clips on either side. The
bottom is blocked by the ridge along the bottom of the phone. That
leaves the top as the only way out (as far as I can see. But there is
another white card (with writing on it) that fills the rest of the
phone and is held in by two screws, that the SIM card (what I assume
is the SIM card - it says FIDO on it) keeps bumping into when I try to
slide it up.

Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here and what I need to do
to get it out?

Thanks.

I'm not familiar with the T226, but in general it's not unusual
to have to bend the SIM a little in order to remove it.

Your arrangement seems very similar to my SE V600i. Here it's
virtually a 2-handed operation to remove the SIM - lift the
leading edge up over the lip while pushing from the other end.

Thank you! I'll give it a try. I was afraid of being too rough on
it, but now I feel braver.
