I think you cannot PM until you have a few more posts and/or time on the forums.
I am not with Rogers anymore, and last person I helped setting up goam was unsuccessful.

The Wind data plan is a work in progress. $35 per month no cap, but they will throttle you after 5 Gb. Some port blocking going on. In all, its been a good experience. Working through some of the data issues right now with them.

I can tell you that I will be ecstatic if the Rogers network gets N900 (2100 band) support. The Fido plan I'm on is cheaper than anything I can get through Wind, and I'm just not able to use anything that could approach "unlimited data". 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.

According to Nokia, via Wind Mobile, the N900 will not be offered in Canada. Reports are that US models in Canada have no warranty.

What about if I buy one via newegg.ca? If it breaks, would I have to send it to the states?
