I really doubt there will be any areas with 3G coverage but not 2G, but if Simple Calling ever gets data 3G would be helpful. Another use might be during a disaster, if the 3G has more capacity than 2G.

I hope they do decide to add 3G roaming on it as that will be important in the coming years after more users migrate to 3G & more sites become 3G, especially with T-Mobile's AWS sites & the whole new Bell & Telus networks coming about in Canada which will be 3G-only and could fill in some huge gaps in the Canadian GSM/UMTS footprint that Rogers never addressed, such as the Territories & Maritimes.
