If they didn't I would stick with my plan of buying an unlocked Samsung I7500 for day to day use. With local availability AND 3G I would give the edge to the Magic over Samasung. So obviously I fancy the Magic more (provided Rogers carries the black version). In this day in age it would seem like a waste to not adapt these phones to run on Rogers’ 3G network.

However I just google'ed "Globalive" and they seam to be active. Looks like I might swap carriers once they go live! fwi: Android with no G3 is a deal breaker, Rogers should know this.

One would hope Rogers is on one of those frequencies. AFAIK the G1 supports: EDGE, GPRS, GSM 1800, GSM 1900, GSM 850, GSM 900, HSDPA 2100, WCDMA.

I am also concerned about the 3G. From what I understand, Rogers/Fido use 850 MHz for HSDPA but here are the specs on the Magic from the HTC website: HSDPA/WCDMA: * 900/2100 MHz * Up to 2 Mbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: * 850/900/1800/1900 MHz The Dream also has similar band specs ... which suggests that neither will be able to do 3G (I know currently that unlocked T-Mobile G1s can't do 3G on Rogers/Fido - only Edge). I'm not going to spend this kind of money to only get Edge :(. So here's hoping they changed the radio chips for the Canadian version.

I will wait for Globalive assuming they will launch their network this year as promised. What is the difference, they will charge an ARM and LEG for the Phones.
