Google tried to sell its unlocked Nexus One phone directly to Canadians earlier this year but aborted the plan in May. ((Manu Fernandez/Associated Press)) Things seem to be looking up for Canadian wireless users. Since 2007, they've had number portability so they can take their cellphone number with them when they switch providers. A few months ago, Bell and Telus switched to the same technology that Rogers uses, so customers of all three can now take their new phone with them when switching, provided they can get it unlocked so that it can run on any network. And now, unlocked iPhones have arrived and are available directly from Apple. Moving from one carrier to another, as long as you're not on a contract, has never been easier. So can that unlocked iPhone — or any other unlocked device, for that matter — result in a better deal if the customer pits Bell, Rogers and Telus against each other?
