Hutchison is bringing LG's low-cost 3G device to the masses, which could mean the economical mobiles will hit the Australian market within a matter of weeks.
Telstra has now added the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer to its roster of Next G device suppliers, as it tries to encourage users to switch off from CDMA.
Vodafone has moved another step towards launching a commercial third-generation mobile handset service, and is now letting selected users test its network.
Carriers have barely rolled out their new third-generation wireless networks, and they're already talking about the fourth generation, which could offer affordable high-speed Internet access for consumer electronics devices on the go.

Sony Ericsson's Z800i takes 3G clamshells to the next level with a 1.3 megapixel rotating camera, Bluetooth, MP3 playback and a Memory Stick Duo slot for up to 1GB of storage.
Truly a handset for both business and leisure, the W950i is a Symbian-based smart phone that incorporates strong music playback features, 4GB onboard memory and 3G connectivity.
