The new XT mobile telephony and data network continues to lure corporate customers into the Telecom NZ fold, away from Vodafone.
Telecom New Zealand has reported a 43.9 per cent fall in full year net profit to NZ$398 million (AU$324.08 million), continuing a recent downward trend.
Nortel has reassured Australian customers that it's business as usual for its local operation, despite filing for bankruptcy protection in North America and entering administration in the United Kingdom.

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.
