Well, "next month" has come and gone and we're still no wiser as to what
we can expect from this new service. This is both in terms of Telstra
mobile plans and what phones will be available.
Since discussing this issue both my phone and my wife's phone are now
out of contract. Hers is playing up, both with a stuffed battery and now
with reception problems (breaking up during conversations, etc). Mine's
still OK, but it could do with a new battery too.
So, Michael, if you do know anything, you can send me a private email
(just edit the obvious in the address). I promise that I won't tell
anyone...

You obviously haven't been to the Telstra website then. They have 3G plans,
phones and coverage listed.

I didn't see any "3GSM850" phones listed, only 2100 MHz UMTS
ones. It's 850 MHz UMTS stuff that's supposed suitable for
CDMA "bush" replacement.

It's pretty clear that's not what he's referring to, given the title of
the thread is 'The NEW 3G for "the bush"'. ie, 850MHz 3G CDMA 1x
replacement.

Ever heard of 850MHz 3G implementation?

"can send me a private email"
So much for the concept of a 'newsgroup'.

That's true for existing 3G services. There is no information on the new
proposed 850 Mhz 3G service, nor are there any new model phones that I
can find. Certainly, Nokia Australia doesn't have anything listed.
Of course, if you know better, I'd appreciate some links to the info.
Thanks

I'm giving him the opportunity of sending me a note in private, if he so
wishes, regarding the rollout of the new 3G services. It's up to him
whether he wishes to trust me to keep whatever news he has on the issue
confidential or not. I would, but that's up to him to decide.
Thing is, Michael said that "next month" would reveal all, with "next
month" presumably July 06, given that his note was posted in June.
Whatever, a Telstra tech (contractor, actually) that we know said that
the hardware is in place and is ready to be switched on. It's up to
management to decide when. I s'pose that there's no point if no-one's
producing any phones for the service just yet.

Neither of which do UMTS 2100, yet... (yes, i'm picky )
To my knowledge, there is only one phone that does UMTS 850 & 2100, and
that's an HTC smatphone, worth about AU$1400... (O2 & i-mate have it)
