What's this Tel$ta propaganda?

The people I have spoken to that are using NextG are PISSED OFF big time
because of the CRAP handsets they are forced to use! Most of them are
unsuspecting and have no idea the SHIT they are sold and locked into a
contract and stuck the SHIT they are sold that doesn't work.

The network might be OK, but until some decent handsets are available it
isn't worth SHIT.

Hmmm.

So they walked into a store, and signed a contract to buy a handset.

No one ASKED them to. No one FORCED them to.

You've got wankers for friends

Nope, it is an absolute disgrace that Telstra sell goods 'not as described'
and 'not of merchantable quality' (eg: ZTE crap).
