And all they've done to "fix" the problem on all Rogers specific phones is to hack them to compensate for the stupidity operation they are running there.
YupI'm on Fido (which is the same network), and the time shown on incoming texts is way off.
I do need to know if MMS works ok on Mobilicity with N900. thanks!

excelar8,
I am in Vancouver and using the N900, and the service has been good so far the call quality is great, there are a few dead zones but otherwise a good network.
You can definitely notice that this is a new network (dead zones) but that is expected and hopefully they will be able to work out the kinks in the coming future.

excelar8,
Dead Zones:
Just driving around you find that you are roaming even thou you are in the coverage area I am not sure it has to do with which sides of the city or buildings I am on.
Some people have mentioned that it will take some time for Mobilicity to fully cover every area in there "coverage" area, other say that they are not running there towers at full strength and will slowly increase the range at a later date (say 1-2 months).
I am leaning toward the later excuse since I currently am not getting charged for roaming, and once they increase the strength of there towers (say 100%) I will be charged for roaming.

Hopefully I'm wrong!
So Mobilicity is better then Wind?
They might not have that stupid SMS timestamp bug, but wait till you check your voicemail.
Kinda funny though -- I'm in the process of buying a new home, and my real estate was texting me at what I thought was 5am.. for a while there, I thought she was just super keen to get things done for me ASAP until I mentioned it and she had no idea what I was talking about
