Reviews

  • Telstra T6

    The T6 is the phone we never expected to see from Telstra. The price tag on the T6 is spot on for a phone with this feature set, and the Telstra Blue Tick should offer those in remote areas some peace of mind.

  • Samsung C5220

    The C5220 is a passable prepaid from Telstra. Its low-specs are elevated somewhat by Next G compatibility, though there's little else to recommend it.

  • Telstra Turbo 21 modem

    Telstra's Turbo 21 delivered the fastest wireless broadband experience we've seen. This excellent performance will be enough to justify its high price for some.

  • Telstra T165i

    The Country Phone will feel at home in those remote areas that struggle with mobile coverage. It makes up for an absence of bells and whistles with great performance of its essential features.

  • Motorola Hiptop Slide

    The Hiptop Slide is social networking heaven paired with average standard phone features. This is one for the kids.

  • Samsung A811

    Samsung asks us to imagine the world's fastest phone when thinking about the A811. Whether this is the way it should be thought of is yet to be seen, but access to the Web via Telstra's Next G is definitely a step in the right direction. The A811 will be available with a 2-inch screen, a 3 megapixel camera with auto focus and video recording, and media playback for a standard range of audio files.

  • Telstra Next G Prepaid Broadband

    Telstra's prepaid wireless broadband offering is good for casual browsers or those who'd rather avoid dodgy Net cafes, but beware — there's a pricing sting to be considered.

  • Samsung A411

    The A411 looks decidedly retro-styled, but as an entry-level Next G phone it performs surprisingly well.

  • 3 turns on Telstra 3G roaming

    3 Mobile customers will enjoy expanded access to 3G network services, provided they own a compatible handset.

  • Telstra knows what a girl wants

    Girls are sexy made out of Pepsi, apparently, and for those who want to be sexier still Telstra has loaded up its mobile portal with fashion tips and celebrity gossip.
