LOL
That's the biggest load of bullshit.
The older 6100s did have a problem with their screens.

i dont see how the simcard can affect the screen....

the optus ppl could have been refering to the fact that older optus simcards (1998 and before) - are not able to work in the new phones like 6610 6100 7210 7250

but i thought they either work or dont work... seriously screen flicker because of simcard sounds like bs to me

i suppose you can try a friend's simcard in your phone (second set of digits on the simcard determines the year of manufacture of the simcard) - so 0299241419234... would be a 1999 simcard. I think you're wasting your time though - sounds a little too unbelieveable
