1- Only if you have a 3G 64K SIM.
2- How do you know if you have a 3G 64K SIM card? They have two white stripes (top and bottom) and the orange stripe in in the middle. There's other 64K SIM cards out there that are not 3G. They are half white and half orange. If you have one of latter; replace it.
3- Yes, it will work perfectly!
P.S. BTW I hate you for having having that phone. 😡 😡 I've been wating for it to come out for months.... I think I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and buy it from sonyericsson.com

Why do you need a 3G 64K SIM?? I put my old 32K SIM in my w810 and it works perfectly. And why would you buy it from Sony Ericsson for $499, when you can buy from myworldphone for $299................????
...
64K will give you better signal strength. It is a fact (at least in my market) If I use a 32K in my market I won't take advantage of the spectrum available and I will sound like I'm going under water (like there's not enough signal) The call won't drop, but all this fading in and out gets really annoying for both ends. We'll have to repeat every other sentence. 😳

Hmmm, I found the exact opposite to be true when I had a 64K last year. Thats why I went back to the 32K...and that coupled with my w810 gives me the best reception I've ever had on a phone. I live in Central Georgia.

Oh and Anx, you didnt answer this.....why buy from SE for $499 when you can buy it for $299....???

Oh I forgot to answer that.... 😉 Thank a lot for the info! Is that where you got yours from? Do you trust the site? What happens if I get a defective phone? would it be easy to exchange the phone?
...
Yes they have a return policy. And yes that is where I got mine, but since I've had mine for a little over 2 months it was more pricey then 👿 I paid 389.00 for mine plus $35 shipping. I ordered on a Friday morning around 3am and I had it the following Tuesday.

i have a half orange/white 64k. so can i use it?
...
You can, but I would suggest that you get a new one.
