Telstra reduces traffic light delays

Telstra has almost finished enabling the migration of more than 8000 traffic lights onto its Next IP communications network.

Telstra is delivering on one of the most enduring futuristic fantasies of the last century; fixed-line video calling.

Nokia C5

The C5 looks like the older Nokias we know and love but with a fresh coat of paint and improved with 3G, A-GPS, maps, memory and the Ovi Store.
HTC Desire

HTC sets the bar high for the competition with a handset that truly lives up to its name. The Desire packs a punch with solid hardware and class-leading smartphone software.
Samsung S3650 Corby

The Corby is excellent value, matching a very usable touchscreen mobile with a bargain bin price tag. If you're spending under AU$200, the Corby should be on your list to compare.
Nokia N86 8MP

There's a lot to like about the N86 8MP, but it's hard to fall in love with it too. While it's well made with good features, it looks and feels like a phone from several years ago.
Nokia E75

Nokia's E75 looks the part and mostly performs well too, but its single day battery life is a major let-down when compared to last year's E-Series offerings.
LG Shine (TU720)

LG makes some of our favourite prepaid handsets, and the TU720 is no exception. This new Shine matches good looks with great basic functionality and an excellent online experience.
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.

Road test: Foxtel for iPhone

For purely selfish reasons, we take Foxtel on iPhone for a spin, or for several train trips to be more accurate.

An hour after HTC's global launch of Desire, Aussie telco Telstra has taken first dibs on the high-end smartphone.
Telstra unveils faster Next G modem

Telstra has unveiled a new USB modem that will allow customers to take advantage of the dual-carrier speed upgrade it completed on its Next G mobile broadband network last month, saying the device would go on sale "later this year".

Top 10 reasons not to buy an iPhone

Since its release, the iPhone has had more than its share of press. Love it or hate it, everyone's been talking about it and looking at its sleek, colourful interface, it's hard not to fall in love with it.
