I found the link to the coverage map in the FAQ: > https://fi.google.com/coverage Looks like it blankets most of Canada with 2G service. I guess through roaming agreements from Sprint/T-Mo. I wonder if they are selling to Canadian residents?
Has the nexus 6 aged well? early reviews made it sound pretty flawed.
