I'm in Canada, and from what I am aware of, we've only recently begun having options for our wireless devices.
We have 4 major wireless providers, and 2 of the 4 provide GSM/GPRS service, while the others are on CDMA/TDMA.
As for speed, I'm not too sure myself, although I know that the rates are NOT attractive at all. I guess with it being a new technology available here, they have to inflate the prices (especially for the early adopters).
Myself, I've only recently transferred over to a GSM plan (just over a year), and have not really explored the options available to me (again, they're just not feasible).
I've been told that there are certain hotspots available through the city (in some StarBucks and other cafe's), but my PDA doesn't support WiFi (iPAQ 1910)... So I haven't had the chance to experiment with it.
It's still fairly new here... I am looking to upgrade my phone, and hopefully will be able to play around with some of the options available to me. For starters, I'm going to need a phone that supports MIDP!
Any Canadians on the board? If so, what J2ME-enabled phone(s) would you recommend?
