Not at this stage. There are supposed to be a number of new handsets coming
onto the market(I was quoted about 25 new models) in the next 6-12 months in
NextG, and some of them are made by Nokia.

when you do, get messagebank roaming put on that will improve the
coverage for you.

Experience says Telstra shop employees *usually* pluck a number out of
their arse when it comes to release dates and the like. That said, some
actually do know what they are on about - problem is working out which
is which.

Bwahahahaha!!!

Never heard it referred to as such before... very clever! All carriers
have 100% coverage with Messagebank roaming :p

Does it do 2100MHz UMTS? ;)

I want 3G global roaming... GPRS makes me cry and not that many overseas
networks appear to have rolled out EDGE yet.

It's a dual band UMTS (850 & 2100) & tri-band (900/1800/1900) capable phone.

They use the dates supplied by Nokia, which are usually plucked out of
Nokia's arse

Or one of the two Samsungs. I have the cheaper A501. So far it's been an
excellent phone. Great quality, easy to use menus, screen's pretty good
too, but not that flash in bright sunlight, particularly if you're
trying to take a photo or video.

Only letdown is the PC software. It or the phone doesn't allow phone
book editing. You can't add, delete or change contacts details via
software. You can only backup or restore, or import from something like
Outlook.

Hmmm, nice. :) Is that the only phone (other than the JasJam) that
Telstra are selling that does UMTS 2100 as well as 850?

Brightstar are the distributor, not Nokia. Who says they'll be supplying
it the moment Nokia release it?

Yes, Telstra were the idiots who gave their supply monopoly to Brighstar;
hence the dismal failure in ability to supply NextG handsets. Many
independent dealers are now suing Telstra for the delays as Telstra diverted
Brightstar shipments to Telstra Shops. and diverted them from Telstra
Licensed Shops and other dealers.
