Vodafone Announces Pricing, Plans And Preorders For Galaxy Nexus 
Telstra And Vodafone To Share The Nexus Prime? Super-keen on the Galaxy Note and want it (for whatever reason) through Vodafone? A blog posting has made it clear that if you want it before next week, you’re going to have to head to Vodafone’s new Melbourne store.
We’ve unofficially known they’d offer it for a while; now Vodafone has issued its official statement — and pricing — for the new iPad.
1800MHz? 2100MHz? 700MHz? What frequencies are Australian 4G networks on right now, and what does the future hold? Here’s what you need to know.
Telstra’s confirmed it’ll have the new iPad on March the 16th, and its competitors seem likely to announce the same thing this afternoon. Updated: Optus has just confirmed with me that they’ll be offering it as well.
We’ve known that Telstra would be losing the 2100Mhz part of its 3G network for some time; it was a legacy of the early 3G tie-up between Telstra and 3 due to be switched over in August. Telstra’s started notifying customers early, so if you’re still on an 2100Mhz 3G phone, you can expect a letter just like this to drop through your letterbox any day now.
With Mobile World Congress having concluded, the smartphone market is seriously heating up. But which of the super phones coming soon will be your next handset? Here’s how these upcoming beasts compare.
Did anyone ask for that? It seems so, as Vodafone’s “simplified” its contract plans, and by “simplified”, it really means they’ve dumped most of their unlimited plans and taken up call and text charges that are higher than their competitors. I’m not exactly sure how that’s meant to entice customers.
MWC is great for revealing phones, but sorting out which phone is going to which carrier is a rather more labyrinthine maze, as HTC’s announcement of the HTC One X proves.
Vodafone got really aggressive last year, talking up its 4G plans with promises of a network running by Christmas. Then… nothing. Now its current pitch seems to revolve around the idea that HSPA is ‘enough’.
No-one expected Vodafone’s full-year results for 2011 to be stellar, and they’re not: the troubled telco announced today it had lost $167 million, a decline of $240 million on the year before, while another 200,000 customers left the company between June and December. The most obvious impact: hundreds of staff could be getting the chop.
