So, order from them with a random shipping price or through a friend in the US with a random border tax or keep waiting for nokia.ca to answer ... aahhhh!
What do we do ? :P
As for wind mobile, i'm getting the feeling that i'm getting screwed all over again:
For those from Québec: Kâlissse!

Why aren’t we talking about Quebec? We’re not in Quebec because we were beat out in the spectrum auction. Quebecor was successful in buying up nearly all of the available AWS spectrum in Quebec. They actually paid more for the Quebec spectrum than we paid for all the rest of Canada! We wanted to be there (and really still want to be there), but we can’t do that without spectrum. However, we are working on having roaming coverage in Quebec and other areas in Canada.

Maybe I could use EDGE for a while but I don't want to be stuck with it if Nokia makes a new model.

And for those thinking about expansys.ca:
RMN93009 <- this coupon gives you 10.87$ (go figure) off...Only one i tried that worked for me, for what it's worth hehe. I haven't clicked order yet but I'm really thinking about it a bit too hard! :P
I was thinking about shipping from a friend in the states... but with the exchange rate/fees and shipping it adds up to about the same as ordering from expansys.ca :/
Should i wait for NCIX or maybe nokia.ca (which didn't answer my mail yet) to get it?

Hrm.... 650 + 21 shipping + 7.5% tax = $721.33 US = $780 CAD
Still cheaper than expansys.ca though. *sigh.
You'd save 80 bucks if you just went across to buy it, which is what I plan to do.

As a Canadian ordering from an American retailer, there's always a hidden duty cost / brokerage fee that the courier charges you and that isn't factored into the shipping. It is never any less than $20, and it can end up being over $100.
If I remember correctly, expansys.ca factors that into their shipping costs. That's probably why they're more expensive. But I might be wrong. Tell us how it works out.

My wife shipped my $200 PC from the US. She paid $50 to ship it and FedEx told us "yeah, brokerage fees are included".
A few days later, FedEx was holding my PC hostage unless I paid them $150 before receipt.

Isn't there a chance Nokia is in some negotiation with the smaller carriers that support the N900 as it is?... Either that or they will really wait for step 5 or 6 to make a USA directed version, and the N900 is still a kind of novelty prototype right now, as are the other tablets. No iPhone killer, just a skirmisher!
The (USA) unpopular phone technology would serve to make only the most dedicated users buy it, just like the lack of phone function has prevented more general users to buy the tablet in the past.

And why oh why can't i order from nokiausa !
