I'm currently up in Vancouver on vacation from California with my unlocked G1. I took it down to the local mall to see if I can get a pre-pay plan that does data, and I was basically told that I'd have to sign up for a contract plan on Rogers, so it sounds like your scenario above applies. One of the employees at the store volunteered his SIM card to see if the phone's data capabilities could be tested, but it didn't work. I'm guessing I would need to enter in the Rogers APN information into the phone before data will start working. For what it's worth, T-Mo's data roaming is not working here either, the only way I'm getting data service at the moment is WiFi.
