But I live in Canada, and specifically have Fido as a service provider, meaning the 3G wont work in my area.

Im a student going to live on residance, so talking isn't going to be my number one priority. Texting, Facebook, games, Twitter, browsing web pages and going on MSN-esque programs are my main needs. Aswell as a flowing UI, which Maemo can give. I'm not a 'power' user, but I love to tinker with the device (Former Symbian User)

So in final my question is:

Is it worth getting the N900 if my area is not 3G compatible?
Should I focus on Andriod instead?
I use my n900 at different times at our summerhouse. I can not reach 3G there. But for these things you have described it would not be a problem. All sites with not so much big images etc works well. And if you love "fiddeling" around with your device n900 is perfect. It can do almost everything a laptop can do and even more. A few drawbacks from my point of view. Calendar suck! Phone calling is not the best. But thats only a few things compared to whar you get. So I say buy!
