As usual, not available in Canada.

I'm in Canada as well.

Could someone tell me: what is the unsubsidized price?

$530.

The unsubsidized price is US$529, but it operates on a frequency band that is incompatible with the Rogers 3G network, so that won't really help you Canadians, eh.

It operates WIND's network though. $70 for unlimited province-wide talk and data.

I was looking at WINDs pricing, and the unlimmited only seems to be in WIND home areas, and [for the time being] that didn't seem very large.

Also, while it looks like it will work on WIND, it won't be able to roam on Roger's 3G, which seems like it would be useful until they have a more complete network roll-out.

But it should work with Wind Mobile (http://www.wind.ca).

"Home Zones" only in Toronto and Calgary right now, though.

Even when it is available in Canada, my main concern will be who is going to offer it, and how outrageous will the pricing be. After seeing the way Rogers has handled the iPhone (Apple was a willing accomplice, to be fair), I figure it can only get better.

Same in Russia. We still didn't get iphone 3gs too. Certification issues, guess nothing Google could change.

    Wow! Lots of interest in the Nexus. http://bit.ly/5XZQ9e
    Yep, works on AWS, and we're chatting with them... will 
    let everyone know soon.

Yeah, the same for Ireland here. "Sorry, the Nexus One phone is not available in your country."

Doesn't look like it's available in the UK yet either.
