Telstra tightens its grip of the smartphone market and is the first to market with the highly anticipated BlackBerry Bold update.
Telstra today launched six new handsets on its Next G network, including two new Blue Tick phones; the F165i 'Country Phone' and the EasyTouch Discovery, or the 'Nanna phone' as we've affectionately dubbed it.
We're aware many people in rural areas of Australia are anticipating the shutdown of Telstra's CDMA network, on 28 April 2008, with some trepidation, to say the least. If you're still using a CDMA phone, here is a selection of "blue tick", or best reception Next G phones.
The official word from Telstra and the Federal government is that the Next G Network provides equivalent or superior coverage to CDMA. Try telling that to the people of Mangoplah, NSW.
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.
With Telstra set to shut off its CDMA network we want to hear your comments and your experiences with the switch over to the Next G network.
Check out our reviews of the Next G mobiles that Telstra recommends for use in rural areas.
Beneath its iPhone-esque exterior lurks a very capable business phone.The Palm Treo Pro may not have the snazzy interface designs of the competition, but this means it performs better in most areas.
Take out the Next G reception and you end up with a low quality handset at a mid-range price point. Still, it's great to see another blue tick phone for our friends in the bush to consider.
The Z750i has spunky looks and a decent interface, but Telstra has shoved in a few naff features that either don't work or don't make sense.
Tradies interested in Telstra's "tradesman's" phone may have to toss away a hammer to make room for the F158 in their toolboxes.
