Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

With that you free long distance US/canada, no air time on your cell phone and free sms all those feature completly integrated in you N900!!!

I will probably make a explanation thread for it. Just when I have a bit of time. Basically to setup GV you need a
-US phone number
-setting it up from US
-free incoming call from your Canadian cell phone company

You can do that all from Canada

-US phone number you buy a magicjack for 20$ USA number you set it up to forward call to your cell
-You set up GV with a public proxy or IP hiding software so Google think you are in US
-When you set up GV you give you US number (magicjack)

So by doing that GV is set up to work for Canada
Then you put the one ring software from extra devil you can read the one ring thread to learn it

Then when you want to make a call you select as call type GV then One ring is going to send by data the number you want to call, GV will call your magic jack number and the number you want to call. Your magic jack is forworded to your cell so your cell is going to ring and when you answer you will have on the phone the person you wanted to call, so that whay you don't pay for call because it is incoming and there is no long distance fees for USA/Can because of GV and magic jack

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Is there any retail shops in Toronto with the N900, or is Newegg.ca still the best place to get one from?

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

I went to toronto last month - i live in uk - and i was surprised at the rip off prices they offer on contracts, and the choice of phones is absolutely next to nothing...
is this because of non-compatible phones?? I had a storm2 at that time, and no one in the shops seemed to know about it.. they only knew abt the storm(1)... and u had to pay loads for it on a high contract............

I got my N900 free at £30 / month (INC TAX :P) for 24 months with 600 mins and unltd txt + internet.... I just hope u lot get more carriers to start off there (vodafone, orange, o2, etc.).... and see how the competition gets tight....... Virgin got the message already

Is the Canada thread dead?

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

It's available at Pacific Mall, but I think Newegg is still offering the best price (although you can always try to haggle at Pac Mall..)

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Ah, I broke down and got one off Newegg.ca. Loving it so far :)

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Ditto - went with newegg.

Happy and sad with it.

sad in that I find the screen kind of small
Learning curve switching from n800 - which was more intuitive
Battery should be bigger (may get one of those huge ones)
some of the software is crusty - feels like 0.8
(eg pdf reader next page button)

However:
The voip/sip support is amazing - been skyping away
keyboard is quite good
performance is pretty good
haven't had it crash yet.


What voip are you guys using? skypeout? http://www.voip.ms?
I signed up with boingo and am using the hydro one for my data plan - very cool at $10 a month

Re: N900 in Canada (Toronto)
 

Hey Guys,

I recently bought myself a nokia n900, I was wondering if there was some way to make it work with bell. I called bell and they told me that the phone is not compatible for odd frequency reasons. I was previously using an n97 with bell and that worked fine. i really dont care about the 3g working on the n900, I can use wifi pretty much at all times. If someone has made it work on bell or knows how please let me know. And if the phone will not work with bell at all please let me know as well.

Thanks in advance!
