it should work on either once they actually open their hspa networks.

yes they're the same, i guess the only way to know definitively is to put another sim in the device.

Default iphone on Bell

I have a Blackberry and a great package with Bell which includes unlimited data.

After what seems years of waiting it is now possible to use an iphone on their network. Speaking with a rep today I was told that to switch phones I would loose my plan and all the features that it took me a long time to negotiate for.

Is there anything that would stop me from buying an unlocked iphone and using my existing plan without having a problem? How do I get the sim card and make it work?

considering bell was cdma, i don't know how you'd get them to port your number to their gsm system, you have a battle ahead of you, and i'm sadly not optimistic about you being able to keep your current plan.
