Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 
And for those Canadians wanting a N900 - it looks like WIND will carry it in their stores. Interestingly, once the sales reps stopped oogling over my N900, they told me that if you buy a phone from them you get one year of in-store replacement for any service related issues. For instance, DOA, reboot loops, etc. Bring it in and get a new device in the box. Does not work for user-induced damage though.

Also, there are hints that it will retail for around $500 CAD !

I have not heard of a carrier locked or branded N900 so far (I did search today on t.m.o). So it will also likely be unlocked. Not bad.

Me I use and tested GV with magic jack http://www.magicjack.com/5/index.asp for 20$(for 1 full year) I get a US number that I call transfert to my Canadian Cell and with DialCentral call back I get free phone call to US/ Can with no cell time. Now you can also get a canadian number with magicjack

@dgenge - I think the frequencies for 3G that the N900 use are common in Europe and Asia. The new spectrum that was auctioned off last year is what we need to use for the N900. But no carrier currently is providing service on that AWS spectrum.

Man! we are such a tech backwater! Do we have to move to the US! I guess I will have to get the Motorola Milestone...

Should work fine over WiFi regardless of location.

When is Rogers going to open up their AWS (1700/2100) Spectrum license they have?

OK, I'm curious...
Last time I checked I was not able to get it setup.
What did you do?

Have Fun.
