  • We need more mobile providers

    The mobile phone industry, often accused of having too many players for the size of the market, may have found a new -- and more sensible -- way to operate in Australia.

  • Editor's Pick: Next Generation Phone Systems

    Whether you're counting the cost of Three, waiting to go Live with Vodafone or thinking of taking Mobile Loop for a spin, we've got all your options covered.

  • AU: Vodafone's multimedia push gets thumbs up

  • Commentary: Why Hutchison's 3 will succeed

    Another mobile phone giant has landed in Australia, bringing with it "true 3G"--the ability to make real time video phone calls--and intensifying the mobile battle in the country.

  • To 3, or not to 3?

    Hutchison has the only 'true 3G' network available in Australia, which they have imaginatively named '3'. Every phone company -- including Hutchison -- are adamant that people don't want to buy technology, but services. So we've put 3 through its paces.

  • 3's a company...finally

    Hutchison launched its '3' mobile service in Australia today, unveiling an aggressive pricing scheme which could possibly lead to a price war.

  • Vodafone Live

    Of the three mobile carriers attempting to lure customers to their next-gen mobile service Vodafone has the slowest data speed, but probably the best content.

  • Sharp GX20

    The Sharp GX20 operates on the Vodafone Live service, and replaces the Sharp GX10. The clamshell mobile has the same sleek look as the GX10, and basically has the same features but slightly improved.

  • Sharp GX10

    Parts of the phone are as the name suggests, magic, but the absence of outstanding multimedia jeopardises the success of this latest Android.

  • Vodafone 1210

    Want a Blackberry, but can't stretch the business budget to afford one? Vodafone's 1210 might suit your needs, but you'll need to put up with a lot of compromises along the way.

  • Linksys WRT54G3G

    The Linksys WRT54G3G does an admirable job of simply and seamlessly sharing a Vodafone 3G data connection.

  • Palm Treo 500v

    Although it's a good smartphone, the Treo 500v needs either Wi-Fi or HSDPA to deliver that knockout punch.

  • Telstra Turbo 21 modem

    While claiming a record-setting theoretical maximum speed of 21Mbps, the Telstra Turbo 21 mobile broadband modem will most likely deliver download speeds ranging from 550Kbps to 8Mbps in practice.

  • David Braue Can not-so-smart meters help the NBN?
    It was interesting to witness Conroy's recent enthusiasm to spruik the NBN's role in supporting the Smart Grid, Smart City initiative. What a pity that Conroy hadn't yet seen the damning report from the Victorian auditor-general about that state's smart-meter roll-out.
