Comment(by roh):

 tested with a borrowed O2 3g sim yesterday.
 setup was:
  - a known to be working tchibo-sim (also O2, reseller)
  - a unknown O2 3g sim
  - freerunner prototype #85
  - FSO milestone 1

 with the tchibo sim it asks for the pin on boot and accepts it, registers
 fine.
 with the O2 3g sim it asked for the pin on boot, but did not accept it.
 a test with a second phone showed that in fact the sim-pin on the O2 3g
 sim was deactivated before and the FR should not have asked for the pin,
 but registered immediately.
 we set the pin to '0000' with the other phone, swapped back the sim to the
 FR and from there on the pin '0000' was accepted fine, and FR did indeed
 work with both sim.

 so please test the sim which do not work with a second phone, and if there
 is no pin set, set some and try again.
