Rogers told me that they will soon support 2100 band of 3G...
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.

So it is unlimited, in a limited sort of way.

200mb is much for me in a month, i dont know why others in north america get an unlimited while in canada, we only have limited?
but in any case, i cant say i need unlimited data, but i hope that here in canada, will get a vast support of 3g bands.

I think you nedd 1700 and 2100 support for the N900.
Been using Wind the past month. SIP is still blocked. Annoying since I've been part of an advisory team for them and they told us that it isn't blocked.

I can barely break 2GB on the N900 - due to lack of 850 UMTS.

Windmobile is a failure of a phone company, I have chosen not to renew with them and wait for mobilicity to come on board. Their data port blocking is a terrible management decision not to open all ports and do a port by port analysis based upon application needs. 3G data services would drop on me all the time as well.
Let them build a reliable network first before switching over to them.

WIND is not perfect. But I am really enjoying the data service so far. I've been a part of their community technical advisor team, and have been working with the Wind Care team to resolve the SIP outgoing issue. We are going to have a follow up telecon with Customer support and the Network team in the near future.
Mobilicity will be learning lots from Wind, and I expect that the reverse will also be true. There is open dialog with Wind, which is a driving reason why I like them. Hopefully the work that the technical advisor team is doing will benefit all N900 users. Stay tuned...
