I would like to know when Telstra are bringing out a NextG Blackberry. I have seen the 850 Mhz UMTS ones get released/leaked overseas, so it cant be far away.

Does anyone have inside info?

I'll ask her tomorrow, she be snoring.

Took her 3 days to decide on the colour......

I will have to check out if they are available. Or does your wife work at Telstra and get them early?

I need to replace my GSM Blackberry and NextG phone so I only have to carry one phone.

I will make some calls when I go back to work next week. I don't work in the retail side of the business but I did google this - might be some help.

Mine is on 3Mobile.

Status: offline 		Sorry Justin I goofed

She now has a nice new Blackberry[definately a Blackberry] but not 3G.

General consensus amongst the staff apparently that 3G was somewhat less than inadaquete in performance, so nobody[or very few] chose to ask again, so they just all recieved the standard jobbies, but so far wife is VERY impressed with new toy. She is the tech geek and if she's happy it must be good

I don't know enough about 3G, it seemed an awful lot of staff have voted against it, most said it wasn't worth the month or so wait. They all travel all over the state, thought it would be the way to go.....
