I'm working on designing a new product, primarily for use in Europe. It is a low cost telemetry system for all intents and purposes.
The question I have is: what size should the sim card be? SIM, mini SIM or nano SIM? I know most US phones that have come out in the last year (smart phones) seem to use the nano SIM. Is this also true in Europe? I can not find any affirmative data on the web. Basically I want the most readily available SIM size.

You seem to have left a gap in your list and sim card names can be a bit confusing. So for clarification Sim cards come in the following sizes
The last sim I obtained in the UK came as a breakaway card that supported all sizes from the ancient credit card size down to nano sim
Given that the networks still seem to be supporting the credit card sized sim that no new phone has used for many years I wouldn't worry about availability of sims and would just go with whatever you think your users will find easiest to work with.
