If nobody finds a Canadian source for you, I have located a source in the US.

Hello.

Expansys sell unlocked P800s for use on any network.
Last time I checked they had 7 in stock. They often run out for 5 or 6
days but new ones come in all the time. I'm looking to buy one myself.
Looks great!

Have a look at

I have bought other things from them before (mainly GPS accessories)
and they are very reliable.

I did a search with the three major cell phone networks in Canada:
Bell Mobility, Rogers AT&T, and Telus Mobility. None carries the
Sony/Ericsson p800/802 model. It looks like you will have to wait a
bit before it becomes available.

To check for yourself:
http://www.bell.ca/
http://www.telus.ca/
http://www.rogers.ca/

... from my experience, Bell normally does not handle (at least since
a few years) sony or erricsson models...  you can call Rogers/Telus or
Fido Customer service and ask them on the coming handsets.  And if you
order directly from the manufacturer, make sure you get the right
sofware, Prefered Roaming List (PRL) and both Activation and Master
codes to programm it. Good luck.
