Default To buy while here or wait for Toronto?

I would wait and buy what ever I need in Canada, since some services may not be available there.

Wait and buy here. Not all cell networks use GSM phones so depending on where you are and who you use, your super duper UK phone might not work here.

I brought my mobile phone to Canada, Virgin mobile are pretty good and worked out cheaper than most networks here.
