Report from Canada…

It also isn’t clear that either our GSM providers: Rogers, Fido (a metro-focussed Rogers subsidiary now), or our CDMA providers: Bell, Telus, Virgin Mobile, etc. offer any reasonable data rate plans. Certainly none of these providers, to my knowledge, offer an unlimited data package to consumers. Telus made an exception for its “hiptop” devices a while ago. It seems like Rogers is doing the same for its video phones, offering “3 years free video calling” with purchase of certain phones.

Moreover, the video coverage appears to be very limited to the Toronto region and surroundings.

As of five days ago, I have two Rogers HSDPA sim cards. Unfortunately, one of them is in a JAMin, which only goes up to Edge speeds. The other one, however, is in a Treo 750v but there ain’t no HSDPA here for a good, looooong while so I won’t be able to use it anytime soon unless I visit Ontario. We likely won’t even have EVDO here for at least a year, and Telus (occasionally) moves faster than Rogers/Fido.
