Yep, I just reached the same conclusion! Think I'll start to suss out the 4G phones.

So now you are stuck on their SLOW 2G / Edge network, either buy a new phone now, or wait for the new Lumia 820/920 phones. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Wright Sent: Monday, 17 September 2012 2:46 PM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: RE: [OT] Really bad Telstra phone reception Ah yes, sourced outside Telstra, before we moved to Telstra. Is there a way I can fix it then? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Walsh Sent: Monday, 17 September 2012 2:21 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: RE: [OT] Really bad Telstra phone reception Samsung Omnia 7 bought from Telstra? Or sourced outside of Telstra? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Wright Sent: Monday, 17 September 2012 1:36 PM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: RE: [OT] Really bad Telstra phone reception Well it's a Samsung Omnia 7 and I thought it was on NextG. I just re-registered it on the network and it's still showing Edge and sometime just bars (so generic 3G I guess). Of course, I'm in Fitzroy North, so only about 4 kms from the GPO so I would have thought the signal, and choices, would be better. I reckon they've decommissioned it for me, or whatever band it's using now is hopeless.
