Seems like a pretty sweet deal. Probably locked to telstra.

telstra pre-paid phone… i'd pretty much guarantee its locked…
you are right… i got confused with the outright mobiles…
Pretty nice, but I would prefer the Asus Garmin A50 for $199, as it has been sold lately. Not sure about other specifications, but it comes with proper navigation software, full car kit and has a higher resolution screen. Worth $20 in my opinion. But then again, this HTC supports 850MHz UMTS band, so it is NextG compatible for those needing the best coverage.
I noticed in the latest Telechoice(i think) brochure that the A50 had a price drop and was now 179 too
out of stock online.
and when they say "save $120" thats wrong. it dropped down to $249 on telstra pre-paid yesterday…well that didnt last long.
can these be unlocked for $20
and
can the frequency be changed to work on Optus?Specs show

Is a quad GSM, so should be ok for that

240 x 320 pixels, 3.2 inches - that's pretty low res…
Even my old nokia 5800 had better display - 360 x 640 pixels, 3.2 inches
This is expired… Please update the original post.
I think it's probably unlocked actually.
