Odd, I was asked to try UK O2 Sim and it works fine. And mine was even the same design that was supposed to not work.

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

My Freerunner worked fine with my O2 Germany 3G card from October 2006 and works fine with my new O2 Germany 3G card from July 2008. If you are unlucky enough to have one of those non-working sim cards you have a good change to get a working one (3G) by changing it in your local O2 store. Actually, it's not quite that easy. 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.
