How can you live on Oceania , Europe and N.America? Did you find a cheaper charter than RyanAir which is also inter-continental, or simply someone sold you as well the Nokia N900xt teleporting device?

I went to school for a long time. A good thing about that (beside loosing 22 years of your life at "school") is you travel a lot.

C'mon man. you didn't like the school, what is the school about? I don't know, but you are lucky enough to enjoy the life over-sea, isn't it?

If nokia wants NA market penetration then why the f*ck are they not offering this phone with a proper quad band. I am frustrated, and since i know that nokia developers read these forums i just wanted to tell them off.
I hear ya, but realize that the situation's not great for NAM users either. For 3G you have all of :drumroll: ONE carrier option.

Makka, you should have joined this forum and researched the N900 before ordering it. For me, I am not interested in the N900. I am looking forward to an N810 upgrade, better keyboard, better GPS. The screen size of the N900 is too small for me. We understand that the N900 is just the begining of a series of Nokia product. As far as your situation, you can still teather to you present cell phone.

Best to watch out and steer clear of us angry Canadians - we may throw maple syrup at you...

In all seriousness - for Canadians to fully take advantage of the N900, we'll have to wait for our carriers to get their acts in order with respect to the 3G frequencies and cost of data. Hopefully windmobile has the tech and cost advantage over Rogers et al.

My feeling is really: RIP AWS in Quebec though...(who can trust vidéotron?)

What I can't find, is how much AWS spectrum Bell/Telus and mostly Rogers got in all the provinces and what are their plans...

It's a bit of a dry read, but look at the Industry Canada website for details:
http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst...g/sf09001.html

The final results of the AWS spectrum auction are listed here:
http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst...g/sf09001.html

And my favourite, listed by winner and showing every spectrum block, is:
http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst...g/sf09004.html

My brief summary - the N900 will be supported by a number of companies, but not right away. Still, I'm buying.

Am I missing something here? I've been with Fido/Rogers for 2 years. My E71 3G works just fine on my $15/mo 6GB data plan.

To the original poster, if its the silver edition, I'll gladly take it off your hands
