[Vanhackspace] Motorola Milestone, Rogers data plan?

[Alexandre Harvey]

Anyone know if the ones from mobile604.com are American or Canadian
unlocked? That maybe a way to get an American unlocked unit. Been
considering getting one myself for the past few weeks.

As for the whole keyboard debate, I would only add that a keyboard can be
nice since it can give you back some screen real estate while typing, say at
a ssh shell, or at least that is my current thought and one of the reasons
I'm considering the Milestone.
