Hi, i just brought a Nokia N900 because the 3.5g is suposed to be working on the New Videotron Hspa/wcdma Network.

but somehow i cant make it works, there is no function for setting Apns like it used to be in my N95.

Is anyone in montreal is does own a N900 and would like to help me out.

I just Tested it on my Nokia N95 with the information i receive on the tech support with the Apn information and it works perfectly, i dont understand why.

Is it because the only Mhz supported by n900 is 1700 ? im kinda newb to all this.

Aldo why does it says ROGER on top of my phone.

Hello there akiraqc,

The ROGER on top of your phone is probably caused by a custom operator name, and I guess the previous owner of your phone was name Roger
You can find information about the package here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=33638

I don't know much about your operator, but there is an application to configure APN's:

Be careful when using this, playing with applications can cause problems sometimes. Be sure to read the documentation and disclaimers.

Hope this helps

Or it could be that you're roaming on the Rogers network, in which case you're getting a 2G connection, based on some roaming agreement between Videotron and Rogers.

I actually thought it would work as Videotron runs on a different 3G network than Rogers, but actually it makes sense. Videotron uses 850 and 1900 MHz while the N900 gets HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100... I've been handicapped since december with 2.5G Rogers on my N900, lol, but keep hope, the N9 will definitively give us finally 3.5G :P

As per why does it show Rogers on your screen... that's a very strange issue. It seems to be roaming on that network rather than Videotron. Be sure not to get charged for roaming btw hehe

I imagined you hooking your N900 up to a giant TV at a basketball arena. It sounds awesome. It was the most innocently disappointing thread title ever.

According to GSM World, the Videotron HSPA 1700 MHz network is in "planning"--they don't even have a map yet. Sorry.

Still, regular GSM on 850/1900 MHz should work...

Nah... I work at Rogers, and I can guarantee you they are not modifying their 3G network anytime soon... (They will be the first in Canada to launch 4G very soon btw). I meant when the N9 comes out early next year, rumour has it, it will launch with five bands, including Rogers' existing 3G bands. So i'm just waiting for that, until then, my N900 will always remain handicapped
