CANADA

I figured considering there are plenty of Canadian network providers with options...and a waste to type it all....so finding a chart with comparisons was easiest. Unfortunately getting better quality out of the pic and having it under the upload max specs wasn't working for me very well...here is the link instead to the list of Canadian Networks

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...hone_companies

Hmmm....actually considering the phasing out of cdma over the next couple of years it may deter some from aiming at the PSX8 (won't deter me frankly...most of the globe isn't fortunate enough to have 4g speeds and when I travel it would be nice for the option....and gsm shouldn't be a prob here...) and so the Canadian chart is correct....cdma is available (for how long and for legacy phones/contracts/members seems to be the issue...and so over the next few years ...2017 being the last provider to carry it...the list will dwindle to 0 for cdma carriers) albeit misleading in it's omissions

Here is a (more honest) comprehensive (GSM) Canadian List

http://maps.mobileworldlive.com/netw...0&cname=Canada

A simple breakdown of all carriers by generations... would be....

2G(CDMA/EVDO) GSM: 850/1900 (Rogers, Fido, and MVNOs operating on the Rogers network such as 7-11 and Petro Canada)

3G(GSM/GPRS/EDGE) GSM: 850/1900 (All major networks EXCEPT WIND Mobile and Mobilicity)

(UMTS) AWS 1700/2100 (WIND Mobile and Mobilicity...these companies (are very localized to major urban centres...hence... limited cross-country availability and) are in a current state of flux due to possible buy out by other corps...and limiting restrictions into the canadian market....avoidance is suggested. )

4G LTE: AWS 1700 (Rogers, Bell, Telus and their subsids. - Fido, Virgin, and Koodo...) . Regional carriers may offer LTE coverage
