I'm tempted to sell my iPhone 4s, and buy the new iPhone outright.

However, the one piece of the puzzle I can't put into place is with 3, the network.

I still have 12 months left on my contract, but I will need one of these new smaller sims to go into the new iPhone.

How are 3, or other networks going to deal with this?

Will 3 send me a new smaller sim and let me carry on my contract as normal?
 
Not spoken to 3, but when I was on Vodafone and switched to a MicroSIM for the iPhone 4 they just swapped me over to a new MicroSIM with minimal fuss and I carried on as normal.

I've Tweeted 3 on a couple of occasions, but all they say is that they "don't have any info yet".
 
I have a 4s and im on 3. They stated to me if the new phone has a nano sim and i buy a sim free iphone 5 from apple direct they will supply me with a replacement nano sim. BUT they did not say if they have a supply at the moment because the phone is not yet launched.

Music to my ears (if this happens)
