I'd probably wait on the 4G phones to be honest.
Rumours seem to indicate that there's likely announcements in the next
month or so for Windows Phone 8 devices.

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

If you sourced it outside Telstra, you are on the 900/2100mhz edition, so
when Telstra ended their 3G deal with Three, you lost access to the 3G
2100 mhz network, you never were on Next G.
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.

Ah yes, sourced outside Telstra, before we moved to Telstra. Is there a way
I can fix it then?

Samsung Omnia 7 bought from Telstra? Or sourced outside of Telstra?

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.

|Hi all,
|
|
|
|I am now experiencing really bad Telstra phone signal. It used to be
fantastic, but
|is now appalling. I think they've deliberately downgraded the mobile
|phone network to make their 4G look better, but those of us that don't
|feel the
need to
|upgrade our phones just yet are expected to suck it up. Is there
|anything
we can
|do about it?
|
|
|
|Regards,
|
