There definitely is a carrier up there in Canada that uses the same kind of “high-speed” data network that Sprint uses here (called 1xRTT), but they must not have a roaming agreement for data. There definitely isn’t any technical reason for why you can’t use your Treo up there.
Probably doesn’t work for the same reason that DirectTV and Dish Network don’t work above the 54th Parallel; Our friends at the FCC won’t allow it.
