Was doing some search's on JB and came across this handset.

Good price for anyone after a larger screen phone for sub $140

The phone is an older model however still a good handset for anyone who needs a phone to just call and send SMS's.

Form looks of it Telstra says this handset is Windows Phone 7.8 available which gives you the smaller tiles like WP8

  1GHz processor and 576 RAM, will not support tethering.

  might be a good phone for my old man tho

    Well I cant comment on the Telstra one but my old unbranded HD7 had tethering however no details listed on the Telstra support pages :/

    I did find this however : http://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Windows-Phones/How-to-…

      http://www.cnet.com.au/htc-hd7-339306576.htm seems to say it would not support it, but this was back on the April 12, 2011

      maybe there was an update ?

      • 

        brent3000 on 15/04/2013 - 16:05

        Originally it was not available however they have a firmware update which allowed the feature

        I think there indeed was an update. My Mozart supports WiFi thethering now too

  Check out xda-developers to see what the phones true potential is likely to be..

  trinest on 15/04/2013 - 16:03

  This close to the 520s price might as well get it, as its a WP8 device and seems simular spec wise.

  Dad has one of these, it's alright but the battery life is pretty poor. Doesn't have 7.8 yet but apparently that's coming soon, still in testing. Not sure why - I didn't think carriers were allowed to modify WP software.

    brent3000 on 15/04/2013 - 16:08

    Should be out by now one would think,

      Ah, I saw on Gizmodo or something that it had gone into second round testing and thought that meant it hadn't been released yet. Dad doesn't have it yet, but that's because he never connects it to his computer :/

  zelda707 on 15/04/2013 - 16:11

  is it unlocked?

• 

  walshy002000 on 15/04/2013 - 16:11

  I've still got one of these a my device (generic not Telstra version) and it's working fine. I got the 7.8 update on it a month of so ago, still works without skipping a beat :) You can't tether via USB, but you can use it as a wifi hot spot.

    The 520 is a much better phone.

  fredscool on 15/04/2013 - 16:28

  how about this one? http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/mobile-phones/mobiles-outrigh…
  lumia 800 for $199

    No, definitely go the 520. Windows Phone 8 vs 7.8 and Dual Core 1Ghz vs Single 1.4Ghz

  The Xperia X10 had my attention for a while, but even with custom roms does not go above Android 2.3 :(

    Its still better than other phones around $69 :)

    • 

      CyberGenesys on 15/04/2013 - 18:51

      Agreed, I'm still weighing the pros v cons :)

      Cons:

      • it's old

      Pros:

      • it's damn cheap

        O right, its expired now :( no wonder I couldn't find it on the site.

  Quite laughable that the Nokia C2-01 is on the same page as the above N8 for more money
