That would be awesome. Edmonton is an expansion city for Wind in 2010. I could deal with EDGE for a while on Rogers, then switch to Wind. $80/mo for their Always Shout Voice Plan + Infinite Mobile Data Plan seems better than what I'm paying for now.

I thought Wind uses the same 3G bands as T-Mobile? That would seem to making buying it online from Google (for $530, according to rumours) and using it on Wind an option.

In Calgary and Toronto, anyway.

Ugh, we're still waiting for a Milestone date from Telus while Google is about to announce the new must-have Android phone. Why are Canadian carriers so utterly lame?

I don't think there will be any carrier agreements in Canada. I took a look at the specs, and unless I'm missing something, the 3G bands for the Nexus One won't work in Canada. Or at least I should say that the 3G bands for the HTC Magic/Dream/Hero in Canada aren't the same as the Nexus One.
