Does anyone know if it is possible to use 3-Mobile sim cards in Nokia 3410's or Sony Erriccson T610's?

Sadly not allowed - it is against your terms and conditions, as the phone would be forced to use 2G (if it worked) which costs 3 money (as you are not using their network then).

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think some of the earlier 3 SIM cards could be used in 2G phones, even though 3 didn't like it.

If you used it too much though they would find out, send you a replacement SIM that wouldn't work in 2G phones and bar the original SIM.
