For the past little while when i've gone to a website in the browser it recognizes me as being in canada when i'm definitely not in canada. is there a setting for that or is it just something screwed up with the system?

This happens to me in Phoenix as well.
I am on T-Mobile and it uses RIM's proxy, so you are, in a way, in Canada.

does anybody know of a way to change it so i can get the US versions of websites instead of the canadian?
