LG KF390

Take out the Next G reception and you end up with a low quality handset at a mid-range price point. Still, it's great to see another blue tick phone for our friends in the bush to consider.

Telstra F165

Dubbed the "Country Phone" Telstra's F165 sure looks the part. A rugged, rubberised candy-bar form factor with an extendable external antenna masks powerful HSDPA connectivity.

I need to get wireless Internet on my laptop, but can't find anyone offering ExpressCards.

Recently I bought an HP notebook which only has an ExpressCard slot.

I would appreciate it if somebody could please explain how it all works. Also I would like to know how it works overseas and what sort of plans are available.

I refer to your first take article of the MPx220. It says that Motorola has pushed back the Australian release date from November to February.

Other sources have told me:

  1. It has not yet received network approval in Australia
  2. The phones are ready they are just waiting for the carriers to release them to consumers
  3. The last news I heard was that they were cancelled altogether!
