Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

All i can now understand is that Nokia is as confused dealing with its own reseller then with the general public as far as explaining what is going on... :confused:

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

that's why I paid a bit more to have it faster, just can't wait to receive it. Mine was ship last Friday from NYC 5 days express and the tracking number still say in route to Canada "/$%"/$%?$%$/%?&

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

What do you guys think of this...

I currently have an E65 and an N810 and use them on Rogers because I have a pretty decent corporate plan. With Rogers possibly charging more for tethering after Dec 31st I am thinking I need to upgrade to the N900 to remove the need to tether. Don't want to give Rogers any more money.

I have one reservation however...
If the next N9XX has Rogers 3G I am going to be pissed.

While I currently use mostly wifi anyway, I would like 3G one day.

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

So far, I have never heard of anyone actually getting hassled or charged more for tethering. Some companies charge more for plans that include tethering, but it has been generally found that even non-tethering plans actually do allow tethering. It seems that the companies hide or disable tethering on phones that are sold with the cheaper plans, but of course the N900 is an "unlocked" phone.

But I'm not speaking from personal experience. I have never tethered myself, except this month when I tethered my N800 to my N900...

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

So how do we get Wind back in action? Kidnap Clement? lol It was a joke CSIS chill with the waterguns.

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Somebody from Rogers told me that too they might start charging after dec. 31.

And if they go with the next N90XX just change you never know maybe Rogers will change frequency too so no need to change

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)

It was shipped last friday 5 day guarantee and we are over that $/"%"/$%/"$% at least it is insured but alway the wait from NOkia to the shipping I am waiting since september

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Anyone receive their N900 yet? I thought that I saw that mobilecityonline had some in stock earlier today, but now they're back to "back order".

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Mine was stuck in US postal service for a week. Its look like it's unblocked now

Tracking Status : It is at Montreal Custom office for inspection as of today

So If I am lucky tomorrow or the day after. I wish I could just pick off my car, drive and get it...

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

I'm still waiting for mine
Order Status : Ready to ship

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Where did you get it from?

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

mobilecityonline

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Did you pay 579.99$ (before Nokia's so called rebate) or 629.99?

They don't seem to respect the shipping priority at all!
I've ordered almost a thousand order before someone else but with the lowest price and I'm still at ConfirmedRTB and he's at Ready to ship which i find rather insulting...

btw my order starts with 306XXX and his with 307XXX ...

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Can you cancel? if yes you can order another one from somewhere they have it in stock

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

I guess i could yes, but ... where from? We're screwed here in Canada...

(They weren't very helpful on the phone either and take a freaking long time to answer my emails about this type of issues...! )

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Last week there was www.jr.com on stocks at 649 and for 45$ overnight shipping but until someone posted a thread here, now they are out of stock.
Or ebay with someone 100% feedback. I just had a look and there is planty like this one you get the 50$ cash back

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

I didn't preorder it,
but I got mines already.
I just went to SNtraders(local pickup)
and bought it last friday =)

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

keiel: did you pay the $810 listed on this page? Any other hidden charges?

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

I bought it at $579. It does not include the rebate but with the rebate it becomes $529.. it's more expensive now it's at $629 without rebate

My order has shipped... Im expecting to receive it this wednesday

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

nope, local pick up, they take off $50
and i haggled it down by an extra $20 lol
so $740, no tax, fees

Just wanted it right away XD
been using it nonstop

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

When did you order or what is the first 3 number of your order?
I really think someone has put me on the side for no reason!! :-(

Why on Earth can't the N900 do 1900Mhz in 3G but can in 2G?
 

The N900's radio supports the following frequencies for GSM/2G: 850/900/1800/1900 and HSPA/3G: 900/1700/2100. Rogers supports GSM/2G: 850/1900, HSPA/3G: 850/1900.

So this is what I don't get: if the N900 and Rogers both support 850 and 1900 Mhz why is it that 1900 on the N900 is supported only in GSM/2G and not in HSPA/3G? Clearly if the N900 supports 900Mhz both in 2G and 3G so supporting 2G and 3G over the same frequency is a software issue.

So what I don't get is why the N900 can't do 1900 in 3G?

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

You actually need an uplink and a downlink that are supported in the HSPA/3G frequencies. If you only have one, then as I understand it, it will default to 2G.

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

EIPI, does it mean that to get the full HSPA download speed we need HSPA upload frequency as well (ie it can't use GSM upload frequency)?

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Do you think company try to fill their order not by priority but by price they sold so they filled their higher prices before and then their lower prices. If you look at amazon they where selling tons and tons of pre order at low prices and they are still not avalaible and now they have in stock at 800$ while people who pre order at lower price don't get their order filled. Maybe Mobile play a bit the same game?

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Can someone summarize for me. Even if I have a US version N900, I am only going to get 2G (EDGE) data service in Canada with it?

Why do I feel like I live in a 3rd world country???? Is it too much to expect to be able to walk in to a Rogers outlet and buy one?

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

@OrangeBox - I am not too versed in all the details, but I read somewhere that you need two independant 3G frequencies available in order to use the N900 at 3G speeds. No carrier in Canada currently offers this.

@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.

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Hi, do you have a retail version or a loaner from NOkia, if retail where did you get it from?

To answer you question if you look on previous post in this thread you will have the answer basicaly we need 2 frequency that equal the one of the 3G for the N900 and in Canada no carrier has those frequency active. Videotron and Roger have them but inactive for the moment. We have to live with that for the moment as we are like a 3rd world country. By that time you have to use wifi or edge with Roger/Fido

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

It look I answer at the same time...

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Anyone that has ordered the N900 has had custom delays?
Around how much time did you have to wait?

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Me. No custom delay as per real time current tracking canada post my N900


2009/12/07 07:51 VILLE ST-LAURENT International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs

2009/12/08 07:40 International item released from Customs for processing by Canada Post .

The biggest dellay is shipping it was ship USPS 3 days express international from NYC it took 12 days (I always use USPS and it never took that long maybe holiday in US + Christmas time approach). Also just want to say about shipping, I order very often from USA, if you use UPS or Fedex they might charge high fees for brokerage so be prepared for that for ex. UPS would charge between 65-100$+GST+QST(on the value) for the N900. With USPS you pay 5$ + the taxes but that's it.

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Well I don't know but they have a very strange sorting algorithm...!

As of this morning, after all my email and calls they asked me to fax a CC confirmation with a copy of the card and my permit.

My current status is ready to ship!

My friend got it today with the express shipping from yesterday so maybe tomorrow if everything goes to plan now... He didn't get any charges but maybe by mail later on, that already happened to me a few years back.

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

How much was it?

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

You know what's weird?
I distinctly remember seeing a post by EIPI that showed the Wind 3G network displaying on his N900, when he went to Settings->Phone->Network Selection->Manual

But now I can't find that post! Strange.

Anyway, my N900 finds no Wind network here in Vancouver. So that suggests Toronto only? Any other Canadian N900 owners able to see any networks other than Rogers/Fido?

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Hi qole I think this is what you were looking for

http://maemo.org/news//planet-maemo/...0e428c13d3eeb/

hopfully I can check that tomorrow in Montreal

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

How goes your N900 thus far? I'm tempted to get mine from SN Traders as well and am wondering how the unit you got is doing.

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

I'm thinking about getting it from SN Traders too, but in my opinion, they import it from USA, from a place like best buy or mobilecityonline, and resell it after paying all the shipping fees, duties, taxes, etc...
Maybe it can be cheaper if we order from mobilecityonline? Or expansys?
