rogers has hsdpa in toronto and the surronding areas now, don't know anthing much about bell. Maybe hopefull eventually the n95 will come to rogers, but don't count on it happening anytime soon. I figure if it happens at all it will because nokia will force it on rogers to not let the iphone take over the market, but they do seem content hording their good stuff in Europe...

na man, i don;t see any canadian paying 500+ plus a contract for such a phone when they got blackberries at 200+ a contract, they will go ofr the cheap one and not considering that n95 is way better and also canadians are also ipod babies so they are so into iphone lolz,

All the better for us N95 owners (well, potentially for me :oops: )

I did some research on 3g in Canada, and what I found out, is that 3g will be on 850mhz frequency in Canada, and N95 only supports 2100mhz for 3G. There are some phones now that support 3g on 850mhz, but rogers' 3g is so called 3.5g(HSDPA), and so far I don't know of any phone that is compatable with it, meaning that the phone supports 3.5g on 850 mhz.

I'm not an expert in this matter, so if I'm wrong please correct me, because I still have a little hope that I could use 3g in Canada on N95.

Ya canadians love their Ipods, ive noticed that sometimes even as many as 7 out 9 people in any given elevator have them.

anyone know how much customs/duty will charge for this phone if shipped to canada?

It's the amount of taxes plus brokerage fee. UPS uses their own broker so their brokerage fee is the highest i've seen.. like $30. With other shipping companies its usually like $5 or $10.
