just a small data point.
Was at a client site who was using bigpond wireless (HSPDA/3G) and after
setting up the external antenna I made a few quite acceptable VoIP calls
over the link. (possibly slightly higher latency than ADSL but nothing
drastic, no noticeable jitter/packet loss)
Not saying that's specific to Telstra but it was something I had always
wondered about with regards 3G connections.
heh anybody know of VoIP software that will run on a 3G mobile?
For that matter can I get these data plans on the same sim as my
standard mobile? IE have the standard voice calling stuff but in the
same device have the ability to suck a few GB worth of data at a sane price.

With the Demise of the I-Burst Network, I now have to look for an
alternative.
The 3G options seem to be
Telstra (the broadband "expert" had heard of Linux - but did not seem
to know it was an OS!")
Various Plans (capped/shaped plan $80/month)
+299 Modem/router or USB modem ($?)
Virgin
Various Plants (capped/shaped plan $40/month - incudes USB modem and
$60 capped/shaped plan with (non roaming) homephone/modem/router
IPRIMUS (capped/shaped plan $40/month)
+ (?) USB Modem ($?)
Vodafone & Optus do not seem to have a capped/shaped plan.
Any comments recommendations?

Hi All,
I just saw someone was unfortunate enough to have a ZTE mobile. I
just wanted to encourage all people not to get a phone from them. I
had one. It constantly crashed, dropped out calls, and eventually
broke itself. Yes, it broke itself. I had it sitting on my leg while
I was sitting down, no pressure on it, just body temperature, and the
screen cracked. The leaking then destroyed the phone. The warranty
wasn't honoured.
Enjoy!
