Re: internet radio
There's another option that's like vTuner, called Reciva https://www.reciva.com/stations/location with 63 stations listed under India. And if you want to listen to other countries, there are hundreds...

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
Not sure I can agree with you, Qole. As much as everyone is hurling vitriol at the CRTC at the moment, their decision was the correct one given our current laws. It was Industry Canada who screwed up...

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
Time to wake up this long-dormant thread (hey, it's been over 48 hours).

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
You're right, Qole, EDGE is not an option on those networks. So the only choice for data remains Rogers/Fido.
I still don't understand Bell/Telus' strategy with the AWS spectrum they bought. Are...

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
Yes, you are correct, EDGE is the best you will find. That said, you should be able to find WiFi in a lot of places, and generally for free. Happy travels!

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
Unless I'm mistaken, Rogers still only uses the 850/1900 bands for their 3G system. Some of their devices do support 2100 (such as the "ZTE MF 668 device" mentioned in JD2010's link), but that's only...

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
Just a small update - it's being reported today that Bell and Telus will be switching on their GSM/HSPA networks in November. The network speed is said to be 21Mb/s, which is nice to see. No info...

If we compare pre-tax prices, it's a bit closer. In Europe, it's €500, which is currently about $735 USD. Conversely, the US pre-tax price of $650 USD is about €445. And the gap would have been...
