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.
Dozens of phone calls and emails today made one thing clear: none of Australia's telcos or handset manufacturers has briefed their staff on when mobile phones running Google's Android system will be made available locally, if they are at all.
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.
Google has thrown in its lot with a major handset maker to bring YouTube to the mobile platform
Apple's iPhone 3G topped the US sales charts in the third quarter, according to market research group NPD.
Imagine for a minute -- just imagine -- that all the Google phone rumours are true and the search giant is about to bring out its own mobile device. What can Google give us that the existing handset makers can't?
Given the hype around anything with a single-letter prefix m-commerce, e-learning, iPhone last year's speculation over a Google "gPhone" sent the blogosphere into overdrive. The Android mobile phone platform that Google actually launched, however, took things in quite a different direction.
What's the best smartphone for your business? BlackBerry, iPhone, Nokia, or even HTC, Samsung or Android? In a ZDNet.com.au feature, we investigate businesses and talk to CIOs and executives to find out which handsets are picking up speed and which are falling by the wayside.
In his role as Telstra's chief executive, Sol Trujillo is the most talked about and controversial telecommunications executive in Australia. ZDNet.com.au sister site CNET News.com sat down with Trujillo during a recent trip to the US to quiz him about wireless and handsets.
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 GM730's feature set makes it feel like it belongs in 2008. Unless you really like the design, there are much better WiMo phones out there to choose from.
LG makes some of our favourite prepaid handsets, and the TU720 is no exception. This new Shine matches good looks with great basic functionality and an excellent online experience.
Wrapped in a sturdy stainless steel case, there's nothing ground-breaking about the Shine Slide. However for AU$249, it's an excellent prepaid option.
Tossing the KF700 into a mobile market obsessed with the iPhone could be a tough pitch for LG. HSDPA data speeds and multiple methods of input could be what's needed to turn a few heads away from the competition.
