G1 in Montreal, Canada

So I've seen many of these posts around the 'net, and they have helped me so I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. While it hasn't officially hit the market here, you can buy a legitimately unlocked G1 from google or elsewhere. You then need to buy a Fido (or Rogers) sim card and activate it with a data account (it'll be around 60$ for free incoming and 1gb of data). I'm using the internet.fido.ca APN, with l/p fido/fido. Even though it shows up as roaming you don't get charged. It's mostly edge, although the speed is fast (about half of wifi) and I do sometimes get 3g. You can data-roam anywhere in Canada for free.
