@Lars65 - yes there are a couple of posts about the smd nrf module.
I have tried a batch of 10 myself, 3 left and they work well (i think they work even better than the regular ones). It was a bit of a technique to solder them but as anything else - you learn.As I will be soldering some too soon: how did you do it? Any tips?

Have anybody tried those?

:)@Lars65 I've used the SMD version in some of my designs. I find it easier to just solder the module right to the board rather than plug it into a header. Mine work great! I've read that at that price point they are probably counterfeit chips as the Nordic Semiconductor nRF24L01+ chips are quite a bit more expensive than that whole board, but they work fine.

Pretty much as @Yveaux said, I found it easier to solder them on the side and not top and directly to the board. sometimes I have had to add some extra solder in the tops so it drains down on the board. If you have some overdimensioned smd pads on your board for the nrf its easier.

Has anyone tried z-axis conductive tape? Seems pretty neat, but is it reliable?

https://youtu.be/K3SPijvXtew?t=2m30s@mfalkvidd I guess the reliabillity depends on the enviroment.
short term solution for a quick repair, maybe.
But I agree, seems pretty neat. -

@Lars65 a cheap USB Microscope on ebay helps when soldering.
The PCB has I milld on my CNC milling machine.
