Another Aussie in da house! Adelaide to be precise. I love my T68m(i) to bits even thought its been giving me the cold treatment lately (freezing a lot), maybe I should be nicer to it?
It's true that Australians take up new technology comparatively quickly, but it takes so long for new stuff to reach us! And in terms of infrastructure for things like broadband, I think its coz we are so spread out around the edge of a huge island that it takes so long for thigs like broadband etc to get connected.
I'm with Telstra just coz it seems like they offer the new services a bit quicker than Optus, Vodafone etc, and I'm the kinda person who has to have that kinda stuff straight away. (I end up being able to send MMSs but I dont know anyone else with an MMS enabled phone!) Another thing that sucks about Oz is that if you wanna buy cool stuff from the net (like a T68i face plate for my T68m) then you have to double the US dollars then add a huge postage! Why can't there be companies in Australia that import all that kinda stuff quickly! Oh well.... I'll just keep saving for my P800....

Hi Perth boys - Hurny, Jjaks... Have something to ask from you.
Just checking which provider is better in terms of coverage and GPRS charges - Optus or Telstra? These are the only partners my service provider has roaming agreements w/. How much are the GPRS charges there? Ill be coming over there 1st week of April Any info is well appreciated. Thanks!

telstra is pretty good but you don't get gprs (or at least i can't) if you get a prepaid sim card,if you get a contract i think you can use gprs.i recomend optus if you want to talk at night for really cheap costs but telstra and optus are mostly the same

@Callum - thanks for the info... I will use my local sim card and choose which provider has the widest reach and inexpensive GPRS charges. You have any idea? I think the free rates will not apply to international roaming arrangement. Thanks mate!

Communic8 Prepaid doesn't have GPRS or MMS and its really annoying me! Telstra does have Cell Info Messages > Area info > Cell Information > ON
Thats on T300 and my mte has Telstra and works for him on his T68i. Only problem I have with T300 on Communic8.... Service is really bad in the Warner Area of Brisbane

Allphones will be able to order it in for you from Cellnet (their accesories supplier). The retail is $39, but tell them you've seen it for less and they'll match it. (I got mine for $34 from an Allphones store in SA) Here's a list of Allphones stores in NSW:

And I think the desk stand is very cool. Remember that you still need to plug your existing charger into it to charge your phone (it doesnt come with a cable) but it looks wicked and it actually puts the phone on a good angle so that you can see if you have any messages etc on the screen at a considerable distance.
