Telstra Getting Samsung Galaxy S Soon

Gizmodo AU

After yesterday’s announcement from Optus that they’re launching the Samsung Galaxy S, Telstra got in touch to let us know that the handset will “join our growing range of Next G Android smartphones. Pricing and availability will be announced a little closer to the launch date.” The Optus exclusivity deal runs for four weeks apparently, so expect to see it land on Telstra any time from August…

    I’m assuming it will be a different model then what Optus sell, so it will run on the 850Mhz network???

      I would assume so too, but we’ll have to wait and see…

        The only additional version of the Galaxy S to be released in Australia will be the Telstra version of the handset, so that it supports the 850MHz band. No other variants of the handset will be released in Australia.

    I am ready to but a Galaxy S but no-one at Telstra or a Telstra Shop can give me any idea when they are due. How much “testing” does Telstra have to do?

      some of those people at those T Life shops are real dweebs… they know nothing about this phone… or any of their phones except the iphone 4… ridiculous.

      i would’ve been happy to put my name on a waiting list or something…

      really looking forward to this one, especially with froyo…

    No one at my Telstra shop can give me a firm date for the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S Phone. I can’t wait for it to be released.Telstra are so slow off the mark and missed out big time by not having this phone available.Kim
