Bean - Telstra are on board too:

And the free use of Telstra wifi is great.

 

Can't use as a bluetooth modem according to that review.... not for me then.

 

I expect there'll be an update/hack for that shortly.

 

Yea they were the first ones to announce general pricing, however it only relates to the cost of the range of plans, along with how much the phone would cost. They have yet to release how much data is actually included in these plans.

If it's anything less or not even remotely close to the Optus $59/cap plan, then I'm probably switching to Optus.

The Telstra wifi is definitely a plus as I've seen they are almost everywhere, however I still need to see the definitive plans.

 

I can't believe Telstra hasn't announced pricing even the day before... it would be a deciding factor on where I go tomorrow morning.

At this point, I would only go take a look at Telstra's plans if I don't get one at Optus.. or it would be after the fact to let them know I need to cancel.

 

BTW, for those that want a spare battery:

Possible leaked Telstra plans.

Guess I'll be in the Optus line tomorrow (unless it's ridiculously long).

 

For $100? At that point you would think by the time your battery has issues you could almost buy the latest newer one at $200? (granted you want 8gb) or (16gb which I'm assuming will be their next low model once the 32gb model is released)

I can hope right?

Still interesting though.. my main concern would be weight but it says it's not an issue..
