Actually, I expect Canada to be one of the first places outside the US that will get the Kindle purely because they won't need different hardware. The only reason whispernet doesn't work in Canada is because it's locked down for no roaming because Sprint doesn't offer service there directly.

However Bell Mobility and Telus both have nationwide CDMA networks that are fully compatible with the Kindle hardware, so it would be easy enough for Amazon to find a Canadian partner if they desired.

It's nothing like going to Europe or most of Asia where they will need different hardware because they're dealing with GSM-only networks. Canada has CDMA and the same frequencies as the US.
