I thought Bell and Telus already had 3g networks?

However, despite of the not optimal experience of just having the Wifi-connection, the old model N810 that I was able to demo there (could not do that with N900 as it was still top secret), e.g. in a Bed & Breakfast place where we stayed. I did notice two things: 1) they had never heard of this form factor devices before. Advanced ufo technology or something and 2) the N810 seemed very interesting device already. I could believe these people who tried N810 would have also liked N900 with just the Wifi there as that is the most mobile experience they can possibly get other than a satellite phone. And Googletalk and Skype were having a importance we have not used to in here in Finland because there is a telephone network here. There that is about the only way to contact people in other countries for example and the device with Wifi would be already exceptional mobility for them compared to just sitting on front of the computer to make their calls. I think even the fixed line phones there connect through through satellite. There are no cables there. |

I have a google voice invitation, but I gather that will do me no good as I'm not in the US. I still don't quite grasp whether I can use the dumb-phone part of the N900 phone on existing Canadian phone infrastructure, even hopefully with my current dumbphone service provider. |
Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
How about using a Mifi like device using whatever hsdpa network works for you and data plan, then buy the N900 unlocked and use the wifi function with the Mifi.
Stick the modem in your back pocket or bag and your good to go. |

A Rogers or Fido SIM card will give you "dumbphone" (cellular voice) service plus a very slow "2.5" (EDGE?) data connection.
