Treo 650 on Fido network

I have an unlocked Treo 650 and have a slight annoying problem.

In that when in Phone mode the phone shows Fido then switches to Roaming then back to Fido. (The phone works perfectly on the Fido network, just the display showing Fido then Roaming and back to Fido Roaming continuously.)
I suspect this is caused by Fido having access to the 850Mhz towers now, unfortunatley I can't force the Treo to stick on a 1900mhz tower so I can't test if this the exact cause...

If I put my Rogers sim in, it shows Rogers Wireless and no roaming.

I know the Rogers / Fido network has been merged, but is this a network issue or a phone issue? (Fido says it's a Treo issue, Treo says it's a Fido issue... Don't just love fingure pointing these days!)

Any idea's on what the cause is?

Thanks

Well I have one to that I bought form rogers and unlocked last week. Mine says Rogers wireless and than roaming. They all do this cause when I had my Mpx220 it did the same thing until I did a registry edit. I don't think their is anything to be worried about? I hope lol.

What did you do with registry edit on your Mpx220?

I found this and was able to change the name and MNC number but still comes up Fido - Roaming...
