And for those Canadians wanting a N900 - it looks like WIND will carry it in their stores. Interestingly, once the sales reps stopped oogling over my N900, they told me that if you buy a phone from them you get one year of in-store replacement for any service related issues. For instance, DOA, reboot loops, etc. Bring it in and get a new device in the box. Does not work for user-induced damage though.

Also, there are hints that it will retail for around $500 CAD !

I have not heard of a carrier locked or branded N900 so far (I did search today on t.m.o). So it will also likely be unlocked. Not bad.

Me I use and tested GV with magic jack http://www.magicjack.com/5/index.asp for 20$(for 1 full year) I get a US number that I call transfert to my Canadian Cell and with DialCentral call back I get free phone call to US/ Can with no cell time. Now you can also get a canadian number with magicjack

Man! we are such a tech backwater! Do we have to move to the US! I guess I will have to get the Motorola Milestone...

Should work fine over WiFi regardless of location.

OK, I'm curious...
Last time I checked I was not able to get it setup.
What did you do?

Have Fun.
