Buy a Rogers locked Nokia E5 (kind of a smartphone, sort of, Nokia style, fills the bill for cheap if you buy used) and unlock it. Put SO sim in it and off you go, UMB works out of the box on it. As do SIMS from TMobile. I have E5 and had a C3 both unlocked from Rogers and both worked fine with SO and any other GSM sim I put in them.

Go at it from the other end like I do. Buy a T-mobile phone and when you are a customer and have activated on their system and have a balance(prepaid anyway), they unlock for free(just did a huawei or whatever prism recently) and then use the T-mobile on Speakout Canada or Rogers or....
Got the prism with sim etc fro TM for $100. Unlocked for free.
Did that with a Nokia smart phone a couple years ago and my wife now uses it on Speakout and T-Mobile.

Thanks for the ideas. I see a Rogers Nokia E5 used on Kijiji Toronto for $80 - maybe I'll go that route.
