  This is not quad band for 3g.

  http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_black_p970-3704.php

  Network Band
  GSM: 850/900/1800/1900mHz | HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100

  Your description is misleading.

    Probably misinterpreted rather than deliberately misleading.
    But the title/description definitely needs to be updated and it makes the phone far less appealing as a bargain.

    sickre - all modern phones are Quadband for GSM (ie 2G). Only the iPhone and maybe one or two others are Quadband for HSPA (ie 3G)

    this link lists vodafail's 3G-850mhz phones.
    The LG isn't in the list.

      You're right. I read the press release:

      http://blog.vodafone.com.au/blog/lg-optimus-black-on-vodafon…

      "LG Optimus Black is 850Mhz compatible

      The LG Optimus Black is a quad-band smartphone capable of utilising our new 850Mhz sites we are currently installing throughout Australia. This means improved coverage both indoors and out.

      Check out our coverage maps where you can find information regarding 850Mhz around Australia."

      Thinking it was running 850 on 3G, but its only 2G.

        So the press release is misleading!
        The new sites are 850MHz 3G, not 850MHz 2G as far as I'm aware.

    Yeah, seems like an honest mistake. And the thing that made me click was the "$29C" as it wasn't clear what that meant (maybe $29 outright? kickass!) until going to Vodafone page, so maybe that can be expanded once there's room in the title.

        My first reading was the nonsense "twenty-nine dollars Celcius". Clearly I'm not on the ball when it comes to phone deal shorthand :)

  29C does not mean anything, what is it?

  $29 per month contract
  $29 cancellation fee
  $29 cap
  29 calls per month
  29 degrees calcuis
  29 centi
  29 coulomb
  29 times the speed of light

  You get 96 characters for the title and you only used 44. Be descriptive, it helps everyone.
