EDIT: the SIM on my Jolla is a new one. Got it just couple days before Jolla and haven't used it any other device.
On together.jolla.com there are people saying they have the problem with brand new operator supplied micro SIMs, not cut down old SIMs. The question also has (currently) 54 votes (and just as many comments) suggesting it's not an isolated issue.

I would imagine the solution is to provide a stiffer other half to prevent flexing, or a way to disable the SIM sensor entirely so that when triggered it doesn't disconnect calls or ask for the phone to be rebooted.

Most people will insert the SIM when they get the phone and never remove it until they bin the phone, so offering an option to disable the SIM sensor in Settings would seem a good choice for those experiencing the problem, although it should be fixed in production (better SIM slot?) so that future phones don't have the problem at all.
