Google announced the Nexus One last week but unfortunately for us Canadians we were officially shut out of the game. Mobile enthusiasts were finding any sort of angle they could find to score themselves one. Rumours are that Wind Mobile will eventually sell it… but for now, the easy way is through eBay or if you’re eager to get the newest Android you might want to give this way a go (we have not tried it so all the risk is on you):

Get access to the ordering process by downloading and installing the free Hotspot Shield software (Windows & Mac only). By installing this you protect your location and IP address so that Google’s web store won’t block you out from the ordering process. When installed and activated, proceed to the next step.
Sign up for a US based shipping address at MyUSABox.com. In practice, this is free as the US $5 they charge for registering will be credited to you when you use the service for the first time. They ship products worldwide and even repackage the boxes for an additional fee to help minimize custom declarations in your local country.
Sign up for a Google Checkout account. If you already have a Google / Gmail account, you can add that easily through your Google account settings.Note that you can use any international shipping address and credit card for this purpose, it does not have to be the MyUSABox address you just signed up for
Order your personal Nexus One phone phone by pointing your browser to http://www.google.com/phone. Please make sure you opt for the SIM free phone at $529 + sales tax (a NY based shipping address will add $46.95 sales tax to your order, totalling at $575.95). Also, make sure you enter the MyUSAbox shipping address and Google Account billing address to the order.
Wait for your N1 to arrive to MyUSABox. You should get notified by email as soon as it arrives unless your e-mail spam filters are too tight.
Log in to MyUSABox and forward your box to your home address, it should arrive within a few days.
If you do get the Nexus One, let us know what you think.

so if ya'll want one, give it a shot!

Won't do you much good since it doesn't work on any of the networks in Canada (except WIND theoretically but then you can only use it in parts of Calgary and Toronto).

Why did Google design a phone that only works on AWS?

^ Cause they're awesome.

Correct. I would wait for a proper NAM one first. :p

Non 3G data is too slow. Dunno why anyone would by a smartphone that can't utilize your available data plan.

does NAM mean it'll work on both fido/rogers and winds network?

nexus one + $80 unlimited everything wind plan = fuk you rogers/fido

They buy them for showing off and not for showing up at work.

It's 4, I don't know what the hell I'm saying LOL

Ur opinion is just that..but this is revscene...I can fail u...

Talk around bro, there's A LOT of ppl that buy smartphones...and don't have data plan. Very common. There's MANY iphone users who just use wifi

Don't hate the truth bro

lol why you failing other ppl when your statement is false? 3G doesn't work doesn't = the phone doesn't work on any of the networks in Canada. if so that makes it a useless phone that can not be used anywhere in the world coz assuming to your statement the phone will only run on 1700aws and not gsm

To each their own. I had smartphone for the longest time but only data for a little over a year now. WiFi is fine, and these phones have plenty of power without the need of a data plan.

That said, there are better bang-for-the-buck deals than a Nexus One, but like it's was said, WIND will be compatible with it here in Vancouver soon enough.
