GSM手機應該在溫哥華還是香港買 ？

假如年中有十個月，都在加拿大使用手機的話，應該在溫哥華還是香港出GSM手機 ？
溫哥華機價便宜，機款少，上鎖，但月費貴；
香港機價(不上台的話)較貴，但款多又無上鎖；
點考慮 ？

unlocked phones are about the same price if you buy it here

Does it mean if I need to use my local GSM phone in HK and China during my trip, I must get the unlocked phone from HK ?

nono, you can unlock most phone you get from rogers/fido here  

Are you saying unlocked by Rogeres/Fido agents ?

I've been using Telus phones for years and don't have any GSM phone unless travelling in China and HK.
Now, I need to stay in HK/China two months in a year. When my contract with Telus is expired early next year, I want to switch to GSM system and don't care much about the fancy phone.  To be honest, I don't mind a cell phone without camera, MP3, Video player.... as long as it's slim and reliable.   Therefore, I want to know should I get one unlocked from Hong Kong if I need to join Vancouver local plan anyway.
