normal galaxy does not work on canadian frequencies for 3g data even though its quad band this is why they got the i7500L

I stand corrected. Galaxy is, by specs, only GSM quad-band, not UMTS qb. So yes. It makes sense there is a modified version for Canadian market (in order for data to work).

Now, don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to discredit you in any way. Ultimately you are right. I just wanted to point out that little thing about UMTS, just for clarity sake, ie. UMTS is used everywhere, just on different bands.
And I apologize to everyone for introducing my mistake about Galaxy's quad-band capabilities. With that said, it's clear why one would need a specific baseband for use in Canada.
