And you all know that the Nexus will be built by HTC.

Well if you are inclined to stick out your contract with Rogers and buy a Nexus One, power to you since it will be updated by Google and will hopefully be supported for the length of your contract. Like I said in an above post, we do not know what bands it will use for sure yet.
As for Wind, they use a 3G AWS band (1700/2100) which is completely different from the big three in Canada, meaning phones from the big three will not work on Wind's network unless the 1700/2100 bands are supported on the phone.
I would not suggest getting a 2.0 phone from Rogers (or any locked Android device for that matter) due to the fact that nothing will change and you will have an expensive paper weight in less than 6 months. Better to wait and see what the Nexus One will be like and what Wind and Dave wireless will do phone wise.
And for the fact that HTC is building the Nexus One,it is up to you whether you want to support HTC after this mess. They will have zero control over the software which should solve our main problem, but you have to forgive them for completely screwing you over with Rogers first.
