I hate the word "unlimited" anyway, because there's no such thing and if a company uses a fictional concept like "unlimited data", I wonder how true the rest of their marketing is.

For the small amount of time that I'm away from WiFi, I would love to have 3G, but I can be careful and just stay under the 500MB cap that Fido imposes.

If Skype/VoIP calling is possible over 3G, I might have to re-evaluate my stance, but I can't even use 200MB a month surfing the web and chatting on IM and IRC for a couple hours a day.
Fido does not offer 3G connectivity for the AWS frequencies that the N900 requires; you'll be using EDGE if you're with them. Doesn't anyone remember that Videotron and Wind are the AWS carriers in Canada?
