MY contract definately has 3G available, its just THIS new sim that doesnt...

Does that help?

Thanks!
without you putting your sim in a 3g phone its hard to tell whether its faulty n900 software or a problem at oranges end, it sounds to me like an orange issue when they gave you the new sim, i work in the industry and believe me, networks DO NOT admit when they've caused a problem or give you much assistance in fixing it, why?? because they want to spend the precious phone time selling more contracts.

the 'thing' for me is that your friends sim works fine, which means your phone is in 3g mode, the firmware is installed correctly and communicating with the 3g gsm chip like normal,

so if you put your 3g sim into another 3g handset and have no connection, we have established that the problem is with Orange

good luck
