I have tried at least 2 designs and 3 O2 UK sim cards in it. none worked. Subsequently I moved to Orange UK. Not any difference in prices really... but it works nicely...

Just to give you some more confidence, I'm using an AT&T 3G fireball sim card, much like one of the posters said does not work, and it certainly works just fine for me.

I changed my non-functional O2 SIM in an O2 store, and got another non-funcional one ;) But if you kindly ask if you may have a look at the SIM in advance, you can check if the SIM has the problematic chip layout or not (see the bug entry in trac for pictures) - worked for me.

RE: Any hope for bug #666?
Hello, I just got my Freerunner and - of course - it didn't work with my O2 (Germany) card. I went to a local O2 shop and was able to try out a new SIM card they had in the shop. This card had a completely different pin-layout than my old card and it worked! The card is (allegedly) also a 3G-card - since I don't have any UMTS-modem at hand I couldn't try it out, so this doesn't seem to be the problem. Anyway I am happy to be able to use my Freerunner now. I will take a picture of the pin-layout soon and put it on the ticket site.
