      I think your interpretation of bargain has been muddled or something here mate.

    If you don't need the 850mhz Telstra NextG support, the Garmin A50 is a better buy (better specifications and $80 cheaper)

      agreed! With the new Optus Dual Band 3G, 900mhz and 2100mhz, rural coverage now achieves 96% population coverage in Oz, mostly on par with Telstra's 99% coverage.

        "mostly on par with Telstra’s 99% coverage"

        3% difference for a population of 20 million = 600,000 less people are covered…

      • netsurfer on 29/11/2010 - 21:30

        Coverage… Telstra is definetely better in majority of cases. Not just in rural area.
        Even in shopping centres. I carry 2 phones (one with Telstra, one with Optus). In a number of Coles supermarkets, Telstra NextG is working fine, Optus, there is either no 3G and at certain spots no 2G/voice reception. We are talking fairly big shopping centres. In Dandenong Mountains, you might as well turn off Optus phones.

        No doubt Optus and Vodafone are better value for money, but Telstra's coverage is definetely better, especially for voice.

        However, nothing is 100%, there are a number of places where I found Optus provides better signal, but Telstra still works in those places. That said, Telstra customer service is quite inconsistent (pretty much luck of the draw).

    • chansthename on 29/11/2010 - 17:15

      Not sure if I agree simply based on the fact that the wildfire has XDA support which is amazing (essential in a phone for me now)

  • MerlinTheWiz on 29/11/2010 - 17:16

    Any plans on offering the similar deal on LG Optimus One? better specs than HTC Wildfire and even has Android 2.2 Froyo.

        Are there any plans to put the HTC Desire on special (or the HTC Desire HD) ?

        • Store RepTechano @ Unique Mobiles on 02/12/2010 - 17:20

          Hi Mate

          Sorry we no longer stock the HTC Desire and no word on the HD model as yet

  • sane on 29/11/2010 - 18:11

    If you are going to offer mobile phone deals, and you already offer ZTE phones, why not do people a favour and offer the ZTE Blade in Australia for the equivalent price that Orange offer it in the UK - $160 ?

    Rather than the Wildfire, which is pretty much a feature-phone 320x240 standard phone - the ZTE Blade can a least keep up with the usual Android standard today.

  • tonyjzx on 29/11/2010 - 18:24

    awwww 320 x 240 fail

    awwww qualcomm 528mhz fail

    costs $279 yet has the specs of a $199 phone

  • IVI on 29/11/2010 - 19:53

    First, if it sux, as several as you say, why isn't someone voting it down a peg, ie, with a negative vote?

    I happened into a Telstra dealer this arvo, to get a quote of $550 for the HTC Wildfire (Next G).
    Perhaps to disuage me from the $279 deal, the salesguy told me you wouldn't get all the Telstra
    software/config with it, at that price. (True or False?)

    If True, is there any value in the Telstra/Next G software for this phone? What would you lose,
    ie, if it weren't there?

    He also said it's not "Blue Ticked" for good performance in the Bush, etc. where even Next G can
    tend to fade as you travel.

    (They had a ZTE handset with a tiny telescopic antenna, that you can also get a short "patch lead"
    for, to connect to an external antenna; they had a ~11 cm small mag/mount antenna for ~$40, &
    a longer one - with a better mag mount - about 35 cm long, for ~$50, for which you'd need to buy
    the $20 patch lead; and he said the likes of Dick Smith should have a much longer one - for the
    bullbar? - with lotsa dB of antenna gain (over a dipole, I think) for ~$180 or more.

    He printed off some sheets (from Telstra's site) on the Telstra Explorer… was that the ZTE
    that's been blue ticked? (dunno, but I don't see the top of that tiny in-built antenna,
    that the ZTE on display had poking out a the top… :-/.

    Anyone know about the ZTE line (with ext'l antenna & a port for a larger Next G antenna or
    patch cord t other antennas?

    TIA.

    • netsurfer on 29/11/2010 - 20:43

      Not getting the Telstra software - that is actually a good thing (though I suspect you might stil get them). Majority of those software would be to entice you to use Telstra premium services.

      Not getting NextG settings - no big deal either, just google for the settings. The specs says 850/2100 for 3G so that's means NextG. $550 for a useless sticker (blue tick) and Telstra bloatware…. That's definetely a negative.

      Unsure about this deal though. In terms of phone.. I reckon either get the best or the cheapest.

      • scrimshaw on 29/11/2010 - 20:53

        It really comes down to whether you want the Telstra Bluetick or not. If you live in the rural areas, then this deal is OK. Not great — but a saving is still a saving.

        If you don't need Bluetick, congrats, you can save yourself the pain and get yourself a much better phone. This deal isn't for you.

        It's a shame but Telstra frequently shafts it's customers by charging a hefty premium on these BlueTick approved phones.

      Stop pressing enter :p

  • Hirokuro on 01/12/2010 - 10:12

    Also, it would be wise to note that this "Unlocked" Wildfire is not factory sealed.

    • Store RepTechano @ Unique Mobiles on 02/12/2010 - 17:21

      Correct though still carries 12 months Manufactures Warranty!
