I could be wrong, but I thought the USB sticks were just data devices with a SIM card in 'em, so by that right hopefully you could just get one from whoever, pull the sim out of it and slap it into the new Nokia... I know it'll never be that easy, but one can dream...
It is that easy, the problem is that Bell and Telus are cdma and not gsm, and I assume the Maemo 5 devices are gsm, requiring a SIM.... Am I in left field here?
