yes... I got swtched to a 3G sim card when I bought my K800i but since I have not had time to set it up yet.. I am using the new 3G sim in my k750i for the time being. No issues... works fine.

There is no such thing like 3g SIM or 2g SIM, both hardware is identical. It's just that on so called 3g SIM more services are available on certain providers. In Switzerland for example there is no difference between 3g or 2g SIM. My SIM is from 1998 and it works in my Z800 on 3g and all it's services (TV, data etc.). Nothing had to be changed, it just worked.

"3" card dont work in gsm phones here in Sweden. All other operators works I think.
