The US and Germany are up to version 7.0.1 Canada is at 2.5.2
Privacy legislation (PIPEDA) is not the reason - German data protection is even stronger that in Canada. The data usage can be resolved by installing Canadian SIM cards in the imbedded phones. However, Canada's ridiculously high prices for cellular access could be the answer. 7.0.1 transmits a lot more data than 2.5.2
Until we open our cellular market to foreign investors we will continue to pay far more than any other country for service that is far worse.
