    ok fair enough

    anywho, you're probably not getting it to work because the HSPA network hasn't become live yet.

    btw, when is the day it becomes live? lol

    Actually HSPA has been "live" for a few months now, but aren't named Bell/Telus, but CAN880 or some variation of it.

    Yeah, there are a few networks, but that CAN880 one seems to be the main/most current one.

    Try restarting the phone... If you just threw the SIM in while the phone was previously on another carrier, it doesn't always update the carrier information automatically. Alternatively, try to plug it into iTunes. (If you can)

    Another method, jailbreak the phone and find out Bell's Internet settings and manually add them to the .plist file (Can't remember which). If I remember correctly, you probably don't even need to jailbreak it, you can email a special file to your phone and install it via email (I did this to get my tethering working, before it was officially released).

    Edit: The name of the file you can email to automatically update your carrier settings without jailbreaking is called 'MobileConfig', FYI.

    ^^^ that's basically how rogers set its network settings.

    you can also manually reset your network settings under General - Reset - Reset Network Settings.

    also try "resetting" - hold power and home button for 10 sec until screen flashes off.

    Did you plug it into iTunes?

    Thats usually the first step to activate the phone.
