Data works only on Rogers 2.5G (Edge) which is unimpressive at best;
Wifi works just like any ol'wifi computer in hot spot ... someone mentionned using a friend's iPhone as a hotspot...how does that work?
I can buy unlocked from US and just insert my Rogers SIM card and voice will work? and 3G data will work if, as an when Videotron/Wind get up and running?
- Yes,
- Yes, but it's not terribly unimpressive. Don't expect to have great fun watching youtube over Edge, but it should be sufficient for most other things like google maps, updating twitter/facebook etc.

- Yes

I currently have a month-to-month fido account. I'm going to get an N900 (obviously) and then switch to Wind when it finally comes out, so I'm in the same boat
