you need to turn on 3g roaming

settings->general->cellular data network->3g roaming

(i think that was the menu tree for that setting, i don't have my phone here in front of me)
The Rogers iPhone 3G is locked to MNC-720 (Mobile Network Code) where as the Fido one is locked to MNC-370. Yes it is a TurboSIM type of device (it is actually a YESSIM). The first thing I tried to do when I got my hands on the Rogers iPhone 3G was to stick my Fido SIM in it, no dice. it doesn't complain about the SIM, but it also doesn't find a network. once we used the YESSIM, it worked just fine, only thing we had to do we add the APN/UID/PWD to the iPhone so we could use the 3G/EDGE.

As to the turning of the iPhone off, I didn't know at the time that I could do it with it on, the last time I tried to hot swap a SIM, the phone crashed (granted that was quite some time ago). But once we started working on more of the devices, I found out you could leave it on, I am sorry about that.

At any rate there will be a better quality video up either tonight (I am too tired to do it now) or tomorrow (Friday).

For more information on YESSIM please see: YESSIM.com
@ tekdroid, the R500 uses magnesium alloy for the whole case. the only part that is plastic is the inner bezel on the display.

@ everyone, I love quarters, but seriously I needed to put something that people would know the size of instinctivly. A ruler doesn't achive this, you would have to look at the hash marks on the ruler to see the sizes.

I will try to get some shots of other things. I don't have anything new yet, but soon.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
