It's dead easy to solder them mate and i'm a total n00b when it comes to soldering. All you have to do is seat the header in the holes, flux the pins and around the holes, tin the soldering iron tip with solder and just touch the flux, the solder will flow and hopefully make a connection .

and push the pins flat with the board helps a lot.

Yeah, I used to use pogo pins, now I just place the header in the modem and use a piece of card to wedge them in place, as long as all is well when you hit the detect button, you're good to go.

Yeh soldering them is easy,
i never soldered in my life but done them no probs.
I went to youtube and had a look at some soldering tut's,that helped me alot mate.

Ambit 250s required some skilled soldering if you need to lift the TSOP. I've fried about 10 of these f*ckers in the past 4 months haha.
