i thought rogers and fido have a 3g network due to the release of the iphone 3gs. Can't you just buy a n900 then insert your fido/rogers sim and access their 3g network?

Rogers in Canada and AT&T in the US use the wrong frequencies for the N900 (at least as released in October). Maybe one of the new carriers will use supported frequencies.

Good news. It looks like the Wind Mobile AWS frequencies will work with the US T-Mobile N900. So Canadians can get 3G on their N900s. Sometime soon, when Wind launches.

....But the spectrum that was auctioned (“AWS”) is at a different frequency from most of the phones currently in the market, including the iPhone. It will take a while before the iPhone works on the AWS frequency (Apple needs to decide to do it). Unless anyone knows Steve and can have him call me.

Same answer for people’s currently unlocked phones. While there are some AWS frequency handsets out there (T-Mobile’s US 3G phones are AWS for example) and handset manufacturers are adding that frequency to their chipsets and handsets, it’s unlikely any currently “unlocked” phones will work on AWS at launch.

It looks like it won't be offered in Québec :(

Why aren’t we talking about Quebec? We’re not in Quebec because we were beat out in the spectrum auction. Quebecor was successful in buying up nearly all of the available AWS spectrum in Quebec. They actually paid more for the Quebec spectrum than we paid for all the rest of Canada! We wanted to be there (and really still want to be there), but we can’t do that without spectrum. However, we are working on having roaming coverage in Quebec and other areas in Canada.

And by damn you, I simply am envious and angry.

I do have a question for you though, any idea if there is a way I can preorder from Canada?

More patience is required, it would seem, than I currently have in stock. :(

Wind has a poll on their site where the great majority of users are looking for better talk-rates and better data-plans. Hopefully Wind prices their services attractively.

I can't wait!

Yea, I don't want to get my hopes up though, all their philosophy and ideas and press releases are great. But there is zero word about prices yet, and to compete in Canada they could offer better service and less scams at the same rates and still make some way in the market.

Only time will tell.
