@ west
Man, I though you were older than me...but now I think it's the other way around! lol s710 looks better in black, i just don't like the full lenght effect when the keypad is pulled out...but it DOES look like one mean digi-cam! 
@ESTOR
can you update the firmware with that though? I was gonna suggest that link too....

It's jolly good to be here in your Canadian forum old boy  A dashed smart crowd in here by the looks of things and it seems rather lively too, everyone full of ginger; the U.S. thread seems to have faltered somewhat.
I'm afraid I don't know too much about the Canadian mobile phone market; what is it like? Is the Canadian market similar to the U.S. market, in terms of technology and services?

Cool man, you're always welcome here...
As far as the market goes, and I'm surprised none of us, including myself, have mentionned that the first GSM operator in Canada was bought out recently...Fido now belongs to Rogers! How do you guys feel about that?
Anyways scots, the biggest market share in canada is still Bell Mobility, and they exploit TDMA technology (check this bobbafett thread: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=60879) actually, you must know it, you were the last one who posted there 
Anyhow, for GSM, it is kinda like the states, as Rogers uses the 850Mhz band...and Fido, the 1900...anyways, we're always late on anything new when it comes to GSM, and nicer phones are often too pricy for the average consumer...most handsets are branded and sim-locked...it pretty much sucks dude...

Yes, K700 firmware can be updated at home using dss-20 or dss-25. But if you have customized firmware from your provider, then new version may not be available for it.
The 2 GSM providers have not been amalgamated yet. There is an offer on the table. The purchase, if approved by shareholders and the government(2 agencies: Competition Bureau, Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission), won't be complete for at least 3 months.

Gosh! I didn't realise Canada had such a Latin flavour to it.

I've always thought Canada would be an interesting place to visit.
