If you purchase it from MobiCity the phones don't have an AU warranty. I'd suggest getting it outright via Telstra. Or if you want a plan, get it on via Telstra, free on a $49 plan, and the phones are unlocked by default. -----Original Message----- From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of .net noobie Sent: Thursday, 4 November 2010 10:11 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: [OT] WP7 Handset/device Chris, so you are suggesting the HTC Mozart, is best model to get?
