Nokia’s N900 is one of the few handsets to work on wind Mobile’s AWS bands (1700/2100, same as T-Mobile), and although it was absent from their inaugural lineup, wind has promised it will be coming early this year. wind faces an uphill battle as the newest player in the Canadian telecom industry, but neither Rogers nor Bell nor telus have been able to snag the N900, which could (when combined with wind‘s nationally-exclusive unlimited data plan) win the hearts and minds of the tech-savvy. Having used the N900 for the last couple of weeks, I could see it filling a significant (if specific) niche and give a much-needed edge versus the entrenched competition.

    Could you fill us in as to what you mean by edge versus the entrenched competition? Cus I’ve never seen anyone with an N900 so I’ve never gotten the opportunity to see what it brings to the table that is different from all the other smartphone handsets. I’ve played with iphone, winmo, blackberry, and I own a G1 and a Pixi. So I’d like to think I’ve tried most smartphone platforms. But I lack experience in S60 and Maemo.

    Just for example

    You can crack WEP secured routers with this phone.
