We've had many customers unlock phone from overseas or from rogers and try to use them with fido, and our data packages did not work with them. @lexcyn

Rogers has the same 3G frequencies that Bell and Telus use. The only difference is you cannot fall back to EDGE on Bell and Telus's network. So in practice, you will receive only 3G with the Milestone on Bell and Telus, while on Rogers you can receive 3G and also EDGE. Data/voice will work on all networks (Bell/Telus/Rogers). @Dejan

Rogers' 3G is on different frequency. Actually, you can use it for voice on Rogers, but not for data. This phone cannot be used on Rogers but only on Bell and Telus.

No one knows if you will be able to use an unlock code, since the South American version of this phone disabled lock codes. If you buy this and expect to unlock it you are taking a risk. That being said, it won't be long before someone can confirm or deny the use of unlock codes. This phone comes LOCKED to Telus.

They did have the "Dummy" phone that they let me play with. But I honestly believe they did not know when the phone would be released.
