They have a how-to for self-cutting a microSIM here (albeit in German):

They had a miniSIM with a large chip and the cut-down size was just the size of the chip but they say it works for them:

This may work in iPhone but not in N9. It needs a micro sim with smaller contact area.

New smaller-contacts miniSIM + diagram found here + scissors + patience + some swearing == success!

So yeah, I registered to reply to this.

I am also with Wind and I have an N900 and it's an awesome combination! (Reception problems? What reception problems?)

So since I ordered an N9 this morning (w00t) I decided to look around. Yeah, it's lame that you have to cut the Sim, HOWEVER! Yes, their new SIM cards have smaller contact areas. I also had a larger one I got over a year ago, and was a little stressed out. But I walked up to my local Wind booth, gave them a sob story, and the guy in about 2 minutes had me up and going with a new SIM. With a smaller contact area.

I have that fancy stapler that cuts out Micro-Sims from regular ones so I'm all set to go when my N9 arrives. Also, I can confirm the smaller contact area sims will work on the N900 in case that was in doubt.

By the way, the guy was awesome, even though I was totally willing to pay the 25 bucks for a new SIM, he said not to worry. Yes, this continues to officially be the best Provider in Toronto.

(no, I wasn't paid to sponsor them, I just really really like them)

Agree - reception is great everywhere I go (but then I do live and work downtown).

Hah! Hope you enjoy your N9. I've also just switched over from the N900 - it's been a great couple of years, and I'm now planning to turn the N900 into an amazing toy (e.g. timelapse camera with wifi access!)

I can confirm that N9 + Wind == sweet combo. I ended up escalating my initial poor customer service experience, and - higher up the chain - WIND were extremely responsive, even offering to help me cut my SIM for free.

By then I'd already obtained a new miniSIM and cut it myself, but yes: WIND continue to provide me with good value for money and good cell service. During my contact with them today, the company as a whole was helpful and responsive (can't fault them for having one or two sub-par call-center staff).

i don't know how toronto area dealing with SIM but here in asian (malaysia) is so easy to change your SIM....
i go to my services provider store & tell them i just lost (lies) my SIM...i show them prove (my ID) then within 5 minutes i get a new SIM (choose between normal or mirco SIM) & they block the old one at the same times....
pretty simple but just have to remember to backup your contacts first
