Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Btw, i've been trying some EDGE over Fido and got 15k/sec average over an apt-get update and around 18k/sec over a wget of the latest kernel...

Though typing over ssh is responding in the second, you still get a feel the latency is not so good...

EDIT:
Now i got to fix my SIP/asterisk setup (can't here myself in the echo test) and then test over EDGE (it's going to be horrible haha ;) ).

So i can call my echo test, here the message, type # to stop it, but it never hears me and thus send back anything... any idea?
(Yeah, i ll go check the asterisk thread ;) )

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

After all this bad news I keep reading, I'm wondering if I should keep mine.

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Waiting patiently on expedited shipping of my N900 from newegg.ca

Been waiting so long for something like this.

Never used Maemo before though... but since it's Debian based, I think I might like it :rolleyes:

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

I'm on Vancouver Island, BC. I pre-ordered mine through MobileCityOnline.com and received in on Monday (Dec 7). I'm on the Fido network and just moved over the SIM card from my Sony-Ericsson phone to the N900 and bingo, it works!

I do not have a Fido data plan and at Canadian prices, I won't be getting one. There are lots of WiFi hotspots around and the N900 seems to work very well on my WLAN.

However, the main reasons I got the N900 are:
1. Want to integrate my phone, Palm Pilot (now dead), Sansa Fuze music player, Garmin GPS and a farily decent always-with-me camera into ONE really solid device. WiFi is gravy.
2. Sony-Ericsson PDA features are terrible and the camera is pathetic. So this had to be replaced.
3. I liked the open development platform since I'm originally a software developer.
4. I don't like carriers locking/crippling my phone.

Hence...the N900.

Biggest likes so far...
- the screen is awesome
- the physical design quality is very good

Biggest gripe so far...
- the Maps app doesn't function without a data connection, which makes it pretty useless to me as a hiking/geocaching tool. Why not let me download and install all the maps for North American, like my Garmin?

Cheers!

Excellent news indeed. Finally our Government doing the right thing. Now, who will be the first with a Wind SIM card?!
