Frequencies are HARDWARE DIFFERENCES
Sim/Carrier lock is SOFTWARE LOCK
don't mix em up.
If you buy a Rogers quad band phone, don't expect that "unlocking" will let you use it on wind/mobilicity/t-mobile
In other news:
I just pre-ordered a Galaxy Nexus from Virgin.
Didn't have to pay - just had to leave my name and number
14 Days return policy
have to be on a 30-day 20 dollar plan though (oh well, just got 40 dollars from office's computer parts rebate... which I got to keep for myself)
REP SAID IT's LOCKED TO BELL/VIRGIN? FOR REALS?
PLEASE NO

^ XDA has reports of phones locked to O2 and 3 (in the UK) though...so I'm kind of scared that after the Nexus S google went the other way

Is the Canadian version pentaband? Read an article last week saying that the FCC approved a 850/1900 ONLY version for the states.

looks like virgin's is unlock - bell will probably be getting unlocked ones too 
until official launch day it will really be a big mystery since the picture the guy showed on XDA stated "UNLK" specifically.
sauce Bell pre-orders. Anyone have any information on when they ship? - xda-developers

Okay which one of you hongers took a picture of yourself and used it as the background at the Costco demo phone?
It was awkward playing around with it with your face right there.

^Its true. Reports that many have gotten the phone through the kiosk via pre paid. It's a known fact that people have been able to get phones off contract via Costco.

Do you have to be a costco member to purchase from costco mobile? My dad has the membership and hes not home right now 
Edit: Just called Wireless Etc (I think they are the dealer at costco) from the Richmond store and they said 649 + acti fees + month to month plan
